Adding a electric fire place to 97 Dolphin

Hi all,
I have 30 amp system and can not fine a electric schematic of my MH. I have thought of going to a 50 amp system , but the cost will be a bit much. My DW and I are use to power management, having worked on boats for so long , so I would love to find a wire schematic of are MH to find the best run to take power off from.

I have a '99 Dolphin, if I had to add it to the present 30 amp system, I would use #1 or #2 zone AC circuits since I wouldn't use them while using a fireplace.

If you can run a hair dryer, you should be able to run a fireplace, both draw about 1500W.

Hi jlyon69,
I think that would be a good plan, easy to do.
Thanks,
Bob
