Dual 30 Amp Service
This is a topic that I haven't seen discussed here, although it probably has been. I am planning on installing an RV electrical outlet at my home. Running the wiring for 50 amp service can get expen...

That adapter gives you a total of 30 Amps. A 50 Amp circuir design wired with a 30 Amp breaker and wireing gives you 60 Amps total. 50 Amp RV circuits yield 100 Amps total.
EDIT. Your diagram shows the adapter shorting the two hot legs together at the plug. It will pop the breaker.
I am pretty sure he is showing it using a 30 amp male to a 50 amp female. That will provide 30 amps to both sides of the 50 amp rv system.
That should be OK as long as the total load is no more than 30 amps.
Still not what the OP wants. He wants ability to have more than 30 amps total available (running two A/Cs for instance). He just didn't want to run the heavier gauge wire required for 50 amp service.
I originally was going to do what the OP suggested but the electrician said it would save me less than $100 on a 100 foot run so I went ahead with the 50 amp service.
