split 50 amp into 2 - 30 amp

The safety of the idea has not been address yet so let me be the first. You have the potential to overload the neutral of the adapter or the neutral of the recptical or the neutral anywhere up stream of that point. If both 30 amps are loaded to say 24 amps then there is 48 amps on the neutral which will be pushing it and the connections. JMHO.

And what is the difference
Between that and a 50 amp rig using the same amount (24) on each of it's legs

That 50amp is 50 amps on each leg , 100 amps total
Two 30 amp rigs can only use 30 amps on each leg

50 amp RV is wired as two 120v 50 amp legs neutral load is not zero, not 240v
There's always a neutral current equal

The neutral thing is not an issue. This is exactly how your breaker panel in your house is wired. Each leg does not have it own Neutral, they share one.

I may be wrong but I don't think this is right. I believe a 50 amp plug has 2 neutral's and 2 hot's and a ground both hots are 50 amp. If so than you will only pull 30 amps from each 50 amp lead if your plug just splits to 2 30 amp plugs.

An RV 30 amp circuit has a single 30 amp leg or app 3000+ watts capacity. An RV 50 amp circuit has 2 ea 50 amp leg of app 5000+ watts each for a total of 10, 000+ watts.

EDIT The 50 amp RV circuit has 2 hot, 1 neutral and 1 ground pins.

I stand corrected. Must have had a brain fart.
