I was given a camper and I do not know the year,make,model but I am assuming its between 1983 and 1995. Anyway I have gutted the RV as it was old and nasty. I am at the point of ready to rewiring it since the wiring was just old looking and a mess.
Anyway I was on another forum but it seems they get attitudes very fast and I know the shoreline plug is 30amp
I have a ac and furnace which I don't know if it works but will assume they do and then I want to wire lights and outlets for simple things like microwaves,tv etc
So here is where I need help/advice.
What gauge wire do I need for the AC and furnace.
What gauge wire do I need for lights?
What gauge wire do I need for outlets.
I was told 8/2 by someone who is a electrician but I feel its wrong.
The other forum said use 12/2 and 14/2, 12 for the ac and furnace and 14 for lights and outlets.
The box I want to get is a 125amp 8 space 12 circuit box so I know I need a 30amp breaker for the shore line. Next is what amp breakers I need for ac,furnace,outlets and lights.
This is what I have come up with. I use 10/2 for AC at a 20 - 30amp breaker,12/2 for furnace at 15-20amp breaker,12/2 for outlets at 20amp breaker,and 14/2 for lights at 15amp breaker
anyway if anyone on here has a 30amp system and has what I mentioned for wire and breakers please help me out and give me some guidance.
