I think it is a very ELEGANT solution ! More and more parks now have 50A service so your Y-cable is perfect.
Curious - where are you finding these parks with 50 amp pedestals? The electrical code only requires 20% of a park to be 50 amps so would have to be a high end, casino, gov't or similar park where the owner has voluntarily built above min. code requirements. As of the 2005 NEC, only 5% had to be 50 amps. Just about all CG/RV parks we've been have 50 amps in very short supply and 50 amp RVs are having to use 50/30 amp adapters. 20% is ridiculously low nowadays with so many 50 amp RVs being purchased.
I think more parks are paying attention to customer demand for 50 amp now than going with the NEC minimum recommendation. Over the past several years we've been in a number of non-resort parks, including quite few state parks, that now offer 50 amps on at least 50% of their sites. The US Forest Service campground at Salt Springs Recreation Area in Florida for example, has 50 amp service at all 106 RV sites as I recall, and some newer private non-resort parks also have 50 amp at all sites. We've even had trouble at times getting a site at some Florida state parks in the peak winter season due to entire loops being shut down while electric and roadway upgrades were being worked on that usually include adding 50 amp service.
