Home Electrical Hook Up
We have a 30 amp breaker for our RV at our home. Can you run two air conditioners in your Rv with a 30 amp? I am afraid to try it in fear of it creating a fire or damage to RV or home. Thank you for ...

I agree. If you are going to run 4 wires, install the outlet and breaker that takes all 4 wires. Done once and finished.
That is what I did. I have a 30 amp RV. For now. When I ran my power, I pulled three 6g wires (black, red, white) and one 10g wire (green), put in a 50 amp breaker, and a box with 50amp/30amp/20ampGFCI outlets and breakers. I will never have to touch that wiring again, no matter what I may buy in the future. It did not cost THAT much more to do than a straight 30 amp setup would have been.
(While doing this, I also ran a second conduit and installed a separate box with telephone line and satellite/cable coax. Like I said, done once and finished.)
I am curious, you say "I pulled three 6g wires (black, red, white) and one 10g wire (green), put in a 50 amp breaker, and a box with 50amp/30amp/20ampGFCI outlets and breakers" is that code compliant? Potentially you could have 100A drawing on that one 50A breaker in the panel if you had all three receptacles being used at the same time. I know that is unlikely, but is it code?
