You kinda already knew the answer, didn't you? C'mon now..

Hi All.

There are a lot much safer ways of going past your RV's "Main 30 AMP Max Supply Panel than trying to add on a 40 or 45 AMP Fuse or Breakers..

As you can see in our Signature Block, We have more Power than we known what to do with. And we often easily go past our Motorhomes #30 AMP Max Limit.

We have been doing it for quite a few years now with no issues at all. Our Motorhomes 5.5G Generator easily takes care of the Motorhome. And with a Pair of Twin Honda EU2000i's, and a Paralle Kit, and an Extended Run Tank. And with some good number #10 & #12 Extension Cords, we can run just about anything that we choose to run or use at any given time. In the Summer Time or the Winter Time, and still have some power to spare.

We mostly do more Winter Time Boondocking than anything else, as its our favorite time of the year. Another subject for another time, as we are very will set-up for the coldest of winters. Just Love it.

Just be careful of what you are doing with your RV, and you RV's Main Power Supply. Sure would have to see it go down to the ground in a hurry.

Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & our "Yorkie Kids

I have added quite a few extra Plug-in's in our Motorhome to make it possible, and to be safe.

Oops! my apologies to you, Kiwi_too. Somehow, in the tangle of quotes, re-quotes, and replies, I mistakenly did a copy-and-paste of your name, thinking I had grabbed the O.P.'s handle.

My remark was actually directed to the O.P. "homerbw": If you do have a problem that needs solving, give the details, sit back, and watch some good answers roll in!

No problem. I get lost in some of these threads as well.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I am a full timer and just had to ask the question. The best answer at this time is to run a separate line out to the 20 amp portion of the pedestal. The problem is we always want to use more electricity than the 30 amps allows. Thanks again for the replies.

So, OK, Kiwi_too, you asked the question and got your answer.

Now, if you had more than an academic interest in this, why don't you explain what the actual problem is that you are trying to solve and perhaps you'll get some good solutions.

If you do it, dial 9-1 and have your finger over the 1.

If you were to use a 30 to 50 amp dogbone to connect to 50 amp, you could pull more power than the lines are capable of. Fire.

That dog bone adapter only connects one hot leg of the 50A receptacle.
Main 30A breaker in rig panel would trip IF overloaded.

Uh. Old Biscuit. According to the OP, the 30 amp circuit in the MH is what he wants to replace.
