Mixing oil types (5w-20 mixed with 10w-30)
My RV has the ford v-10 in it and I noticed today the oil is closer to the "low" level than the "full" level on the dip stick. I have a few quarts of 10w-30 (might be 5w-30) but I was going to top it ...

"...closer to low than full"
It's between the low mark and the full mark. No oil needed. Even if it uses so much oil in 400 miles that it dips a bit below the low mark, it won't hurt anything. You might take a quart with you, and check it about halfway into the drive, but chances are you won't need to add it.
That said, adding a half-quart of the 10W30 should not harm it, either.
