What is running on each leg of 50A service?

[Dmadzia]

Some of the information given on the first page of this thread is incorrect. 50amp coaches run on both legs equally. They do NOT ONLY have the 2nd compressor on L2. If you look at your breaker panel, it is wired just like your home service. Every other FULL breaker is on a different leg, so full breaker 1 is L1, full breaker 2 is L2, breaker 3 is L1, 4 is L2 and so on... Note that Winnie uses 2 single pole half size breakers on most FULL breaker slots, to save space, so there are actually 2 breakers built into 1 breaker slot. Sorry if this is confusing.
Your main breaker goes across L1 & L2.

Another error that was later corrected is that 30amp to 50amp dogbones really just tie L1 & L2 together and your panel can tell the difference by reading 120 or 240 across L1 and L2.

Hope his helps a little....

Thanks for the reminder about the service panel. Having just finished our new house, and it's 400 amp service (can't have too much- right?), I've seen the insides of service panels a bit too much.

I forget where I thought I read that only AC#2 was on L2. Winnebago's wiring diagrams are sure helpful, but often lack the detail really needed.

As can be seen from these wiring diagrams:

110 Volt Load Center/Auto Transfer Switch
Body, 110 Volt Wiring Diagram

on my Vectra L1 has A/C compressor #1, the inverter/charger, and the dishwasher while L2 has A/C compressor #2, the washer/dryer, and the water heater. The refrigerator, central vacuum, microwave, engine block heater and all of the 110V outlets are wired through the inverter and thus are on L1 as well.
