Hi all I have a Discovery with a 30-amp system. My problem is that when Its hot and I would like to run both front and rear ACs it presents a power or lack of it issue. I would like to run the rear off a separate circuit. Could I just locate the breaker and disconnect it and reconnect it to another cord that would be plugged into the 20amp at the pedestal? Would the 12v control still work? I have been thinking about this for awhile and am ready to move on it. If anyone out there could enlighten me, I would appreciate it. Thanks

This works for me on a 30amp 20 amp power post. On my Dutch star i run a 12 2 Romex to the basement and back up to the coach panel using a 20 amp plug and connector for my # 2 A/C ---Just unplug and run a 12/2 or 10/2 so cord to power post and use the 20 amp 110 volt . This will bypass the coach panel until you plug it back in. The post breaker will then be the protection for the AC.----This was from my post a few years ago and the person is still using it that owns the coach now.

I modified my 30A service to add a 15/20A power cord so I can run both Air Conditioners from shore power.
I've been using it for several years and it works well. I had problems with the 20A circuit breaker. Even though the A/C draws about 10A when running it would eventually trip the circuit breaker. I have changed to a T20 fuse. The fuse has NEVER blown.
See the attached updated drawing.
