To which the answer is: Treat it like an RV and choose appliances accordingly. | |

| Nov 8, 2022 at 15:37 | comment | added | crip659 | Why not just use one 100 amp breaker in main panel to feed the 100 amp tiny house and use bigger aluminum wire. 2x 50 amps do not give 100 amps, only 50 amps plus headaches. What size in amps is the source panel? Can use one 50 amp breaker to feed the 100 amp sub panel, but be limited to 50 amps(or size of the breaker used). | |

If you are referring to the two 120V legs of 120V/240V service, you don't want necessities on one and extras on the other. You want everything reasonably balanced between the two. But in any case, if any of those are 240V loads then they hit both buses and there is no split or balance involved. | |
