'12 36RL 110v wiring/ breakers

[proteus]

the 36 rl is a little different but simular in many ways but does not show the flex line under bed pedestal maybe crossroads could help? sent a drawing request to crossroads see what happens for 2012 36RE ?

I do not know if this applies but I feel it should.. RW is promoting these units as "fulltime" units. If this is so then they should at least respect some of the rules that apply to a residence.
all plugs that are used for kitchen use need to be split and on their own 15a breaker.
all plugs that interact with water or outdoors. Bathrooms, pumps need to be on GFI

Unfortunately, RV construction is not required to follow the NEC.

Actually RV construction is required to follow the NEC. NFPA 1192, Standard on Recreational Vehicles -

4.4 Electrical Requirements.
All electrical installations, systems, and equipment shall comply with Article 551, Parts I and III through VI, of NFPA 70. All low-voltage electrical installations, systems, and equipment shall comply with ANSI/RVIA 12V.


I think they meet all the GFCI requirements. The bathroom, kitchen and outdoor circuits are on GFCI.

Never heard of the 15A rule for kitchens in a residence - 2014 NEC:

720.6 Receptacle Rating. Receptacles shall have a rating of not less than 15 amperes.

720.7 Receptacles Required. Receptacles of not less than 20-ampere rating shall be provided in kitchens, laundries, and other locations where portable appliances are likely to be used.

However, RVs follow different rules under Article 551 based on the rating of the incoming service. They are somewhat limited by the supply, yet have spacing between outlet restrictions, so there may be more outlets on a RV circuit than you might find in a residence. We have over 10 20A circuits in our Kitchen at home including the built in appliances. An RV supply could never support that.

Finally got around to relabeling my 110v breakers and fuses that had the lousy scribbles from a 6 year old. Very clear to read now. Used my labeler and made it happen. Attaching before and after.

Would be great if 12 guage copper were used throughout and larger load centers were more balanced with built in surge protection, with more dedicated circuits will require more breakers in a larger load center

was reading bout the FR Riverstone has some nice new ideas to ponder on maybe redwood will read and implement the updated feature memos. for innovative improvments? Will be a great Rally topic?
