Power Y-adapter
While walking around Camping World today, I saw an adapter that had two make 30 amp and one femal 50 amp. Intrigued I came home to do some reading, since we are always at a 30 amp spot, would be nice...

Thanks, good info. But why would this item cause a GFCI to trip? You would essentially be using the 20 amp circuit as a leg on the 50 amp cheater box, with the big assumption that is how they have it wired. Sorry, I just like to know the how/why stuff works...
You have a common neutral for the 50 amp service, so the current on the neutral from the GFI circuit will not be balanced with the load on the GFI- the 30 amp neutral will carry some of it as well.
Yes thanks.. HVAC posted that as well (caught on second read). I was still on the first cup of coffee, didn't catch it. Thanks again.
