Elec Main panel loads

After we installed the WD a while back, we have had an issue tripping the 50 amp breaker in the camps occasionally. Always when we had a lot running, hot day, 2 ACs, WH, fridge, and W/D, I thought just too much or a weak post breaker.

Today I had a good look at the main panel wiring. It had both ACs, WD, WH and converter all on the same leg!! Gezzz... I balanced the loads better and that should be that. Also found the panel was not labeled correctly from DRV. It was a mess. Took a few min to check every breaker match to what it ran. All fixed now!

Might be worth a test and look see. If you are not comfortable to do it, any electrician can do it in short order. An RV dealer/service is not needed. It might be better to use a actual electrician.

Nice work from our Amish electricians eh??
