30 amp 110 or 220 volt?
Our mh is a 50 amp system. With an adapter, I can use 30 amp with limited capabilities. I am putting a 30 amp receptacle at my home so that I can run our fridge and one ac (total 11 amps). My question...

This is the issue even professional electricians get confused on.
Your 50 amp service is having 2 legs at 50 amp EACH.
The 30 amp adapter connect both legs into single 30 amp 120V plug.
You can find lot of stories about people plugging 30amp 120V RV adapter into 240V dryer plug (yes, you can make it fit) and sparks are flying.
Wow! Then 2 legs of 120 volts, at 50 amps each leg, gives you 100 amps total 120 volt electrical. Correct? Since they are from different sides of the buss, this seems to make sense to me. One leg could feed the entire loads of the MH, and the second leg could feed a electric heating element in the furnace.
