When, in fact, you have a 50 amp service and you are plugging in a breakout box with a 30 amp and multiple 20 amp outlets.
While probably not the correct terminology, I read it to mean the RV has a 30A service input (I.e. shore power cord), likely because it’s the only thing that made the rest of the comments make sense.
True. But, the accepted terminology is for the term "service" to refer to the receptacle. It is the receptacle that is providing the "service." Hence, the confusion. A 30 amp service does not have 2 legs.
