50 amp in a 30
If I plug into 30 amp service at the RV Park, what can I run. Obviously, I wouldn't attempt to run both a/c's, but if I can get by with one, the park would be convenient for us. Thanks.

Trial and error. One AC, water heater on gas, limit other high amp devices. If you trip the park 30 amp breaker, no harm done. Just remember what you did and don’t do it again.
Only do this if you check the amperage draw.
30amp is a nominal rating and implies the peak load. Continuous loads are limited to 80% (24amps) per the ratings...and that assumes the park system isn't' wonky.
If you run continuous at or near 30amp and manage not to blow the breaker, you can burn things up and while rare, possibly start a fire.
