  • Circuit breaker for 2nd AC unit

    We have a 2021 Reflection 150 278BH purchased in April 2021 (first RV). We had the dealer install a second AC unit in the front of the trailer. It has worked normally when used since then. I am in the process of changing the battery to lithium and adding an inverter to power the fridge while on the road. I have purchased, but no yet installed a lithium ready converter. I was looking at the main breaker/fuse panel this morning and noticed that there was a label on the right side next to the fridge label that says AC, but there is no circuit breaker there. I have not yet pulled the panel apart, but just would like to know if there should be a separate circuit breaker for the second AC unit.
    Thanks,

    Yes there should be a second breaker for the second AC unit, the labels may just be misaligned. Checking for confirmation is a good idea.

      Thanks, I will check. The refrigerator is just left of the second AC label and has a 20 amp breaker, Everything else is 15 amp in the AC group. 20 amps seems high for the refrigerator.

          It can be tricky to see the markings if they use the double "cheater" breakers as well. Generally the 20A breakers are the A/C units.

            I pulled the front panel off and found that there are two double wide Main labels under the 50 amp double circuit breaker for the shore power. Every other label is offset both to the left and right. I just need to relabel the panel. There are two 20 amp breakers, both for the AC units. The rest are 15 amp breakers. Not a big deal. Thanks.
