The two circuits must be on different phases of the electrical source.
You could argue that the cheater cord connected to 30+30 amp (which I've done) could overload the 50A rated neutral if the connection is not split phase.
Update: I was referring to the RV neutral and should clarified that the shorted adapter neutrals can by overloaded.
