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've never seen this type adapter. If only one male end was plugged in wouldn't the other one be hot?
the two plugs are not connected.
The two hot wires are not directly connected together, but each connect to either of the two hot connections on the 50A connector. The neutrals are all connected together (which is why GFCIs will trip when this gets plugged into them), and similarly the grounds are also connected together.
If there's a 240V load in the RV--which is not a particularly common situation--one hot would be live with power that goes through that load from the other when only one was connected.
