So if I read this right you have two 30 amp shore cords? Do you use a 50 amp to (2) 30 amp y-connector?

I have 2 30AMP cords going to the shore power box.

The new breaker box 30AMP cord I plug into the shore box 30AMP. As you can see by the picture of the new 35AMP breaker box it has a 30AMP male connection to power it.

I have custom made myself a dog bone 50AMP to 2 30AMP outlet cords and only use it, if shore power only has a 50AMP output. For the few campgrounds with that set up.
