Hey all! I bought a 20 year old truck camper awhile ago and have been taking the winter to figure out wiring. While I have done some electrical wiring in the past, DC wiring has definitely been a new subject, especially with the integration of AC.
After looking through this forum and a bunch of videos, I believe I have everything drawn up appropriately, but wanted to get any additional thoughts on the planned setup.
I also had 2 specific questions that I thought I would get your thoughts on as well:

I also had 2 specific questions that I thought I would get your thoughts on as well:
- Since I am upgrading the majority of the core wiring to handle a more modern use of the camper, I am thinking about upgrading the existing 30a shore wiring to 50a. Besides upgrading the wiring and making sure the components are 50a appropriate, are there any additional considerations I should take into account?
- I have a 50a DC breaker between the positive busbar & the DC distribution panel, but the current panel has a 30a limit. Will this cause any issues?
- My understanding is that as long as the wiring is sized for over 50a, it should not be an issue. Since this is 20 year old board, I may be replacing it (though it is working perfect atm), and figured I would future proof it a little.
