my MH is wired for 50 amp The lodge that I'm staying @ has 2 30 amp outlets and if none parks next to me I can use both plugs.
Keep in mind your 50A is 50A X 2 120V "sides" (really split phases). So a 50A is in reality 100A.
Two 30A plugs do not do the same thing. You would at best have 50~55 amps of capacity (the 30A is derated) which is still much lower than the 100A your 50A rig is capable of.
