The savings does not justify creating a phoney 50 amp circuit.
In the end there is no such thing as a 30/30 or 60 amp RV circuit. What is the proper terminology to describe this circuit?
It is a 30 amp 120v/240v circuit.

Many think this is OK because it serves the OP's purposes right now. But unless the OP eliminates the circuit when he is done with it someone else is going to come across this abnormal wiring and pay the price in some form.
Actually, you make a point here that you didn't intend to make. The problem is the fault of the original builder of the home. If he had installed an RV circuit to that location while he was installing all of the home's other wiring, he would have saved the current owner all the time/trouble/expense of having to retrofit the house now. He caused someone else a lot of trouble by not doing it right at first.
