50/30 amp RV Park standards?
Here's an ignorant question for you. When an RV park advertises 50 amp and 30 amp at the posts, how much total power is available at the post? Is the 30a tied to the 50a, so you still only have 50a ...

Good answers, with perhaps just a difference in semantics.
The most you can pull with one shore power cord (a 50 amp cord) is 2X 50= 100 amps.
Yes, the 30 amp outlet/breaker is certainly wired to one of the two hots going to the 50 amp outlet/breakers coming to the pedestal.
Could you (one rig) plug in a 30 amp shore power cord in addition to a 50-- I guess so, but have never seen it and I suspect a CG owner would be quite excited unless YOU are paying for electricity.
