Generally on RV's, a 30 amp service is ONE 120 volt 30 amp circuit. A 50 amp 120 volt service is TWO 50 amp 120 volt circuits. So a 50 amp service is really a 100 amp service split into two 50 amp circuits. (50 amps maximum on each circuit) So, its important to realize that a 50 amp service is 100/30 or 3.33 times the capacity of a 30 amp service provided you load the circuits correctly. Generally you can NOT exceed 50 amps on each circuit.
