For 50 amp service you need a dual 50amp breaker allowing the RV to use 100amps (50 amps per leg). Bringing in 50 amps and dividing it between a 30 and a 20 is not 50 amp service. I may still not be understanding correctly but that's nothing new for me!
It's much like the cheater boxes that let you plug a 50 amp coach into 2-30 amp plugs at the campground. This is great when 50 amp is not available but it only gives you 30 amps on each leg (a total of 60 amps) vs. true 50 amp service which provides 50 amps to each leg (a total of 100 amps).
