I plan on installing a rooftop A/C on my NW Coach. The question I have is basically about the electrical. Currently I have 30 amp shore power cord going into two breakers (one 15 amp and one 20 amp). The trailer wasn't pre-wired for A/C to the roof vent like I've read about but is beefed up in that area from the factory to support an A/C. Don't understand why they did it that way unless it's just a generic blueprint and A/C was a special order. Any way.... Will I need to add or upgrade one of my breakers to support the load of an A/C? Or can I just run new wire from the 20 amp breaker to the A/C? The camper has 6 outlets, 4 lights and refrigerator that runs on 110 and I plan on installing a microwave also. All inputs are welcomed. Thanks

It sounds like the 15 amp breaker for the original circuit is good to go and the 20 is for the A/C? If the existing 20 amp circuit is used for other fixtures, I would add a dedicated 20 amp for the A/C. (20/20 twin/tandem breaker) In a 30 amp trailer it shouldn't be a problem.
