50 amp rig using 30 amp pedestal
when plugged into 30 amp pedestal, the monitor panel shows 2 legs (or at least 2 separate 120 volt readings. Now I understand, I think, why 50 amp power plug would show 2, 120 volt lines because there...

The reason the monitor panel on a 50 amp rig always shows 120/120 (or close to it) even when plugged into 30 amps is simply.. Think about the letter "Y"
The top of the Y is your RV, two feeds of 120 volts totaling 30 amps between them
The bottom of the "Y" is the park pedestal.
the Y,, well that's the dog bone connector.
Now, when on 50 amps.. Each leg is 120, but leg-leg is 240 volt (This is how your energy manager can tell 'em apart by the way).
Unless some of the idiots in some of the threads I read wired it, But that is a topic for those threads.
