THOR #11074
In the three years I have owned my ACE 30.2 I have spent enough time correcting questionable factory workmanship to know that anything I do, as a former heavy duty truck and utility equipment mechanic, is an improvement over what the manufacturer presents and markets as a finished product. From missing screws to bird's nests of wire looms to the use of wire nuts on critical electrical connections, I've come to expect the unexpected.

Regarding the installation of the second AC unit, I intend to run a dedicated circuit with 20amp inlet socket, 12/2 Romex and separate breaker. Where 50 amps is available I will adapt that down to accommodate my main 30 amp house circuit and the dedicated second AC circuit will connect directly to the 20 amp pedestal outlet or, in its absence, to the 30 amp outlet through an adapter. Although this does not provide for a single disconnect at the pedestal, I believe it is a reasonably safe way to go.

Thanks to all who responded to my post. Appreciate the lively discussion and sharing of information and opinions.

Happy Travels,

Jerry
