Shore Power Question -- (15A+30A=45A)
How well does a dual-pigtail like this Camco item work for 15A plus 30A giving you a nominal 45A when they don't have 50A? Reviews at amazon etc are pretty good.

I am scratching my head as to what it's actually for. In a decade of camping all over I have never had the need to even ask if such a thing exists. Is the theory to provide a 50A coach with power when you only have 30 and 15 at a pedestal? In my rudimentary knowledge based on the way 30a and 15a is supplied being very different to how 50a is supplied I don't see how it would work. It's like adding 2 oranges together to make a basketball. Sorry, I don't get it.
There are campgrounds that still only have 30 amp and 20 amp service. And if you have ever stayed at one in the south in the summer you know how limiting 30 amp on a 50 amp rig is when running your A/C. You can’t run much else. So the idea is to get you an extra 20 amps of service and maybe not trip the park breaker as often. But unless the park has non GFCI breakers that adapter will not work.
