Even though I've a 30 amp service I chose to create a "break out" box. That gives me one 30 amp on one leg, and two 20 amp on the other (yes, I know it is not balanced). Each outlet has its own breaker.
I find it most useful for winter camping as it allows me to heat 100% electrically in the cold.
I'm confused. A 30 amp RV service only has one leg. It is the 50 amp service that has two legs.
Looks to me like a 240V feeder to a box with a single 30A 120V and a pair of 20A 120V receptacles. Doing this allows you to use your 30A RV to max and at the same time run space heaters or other things on extension cords from the other leg.
