Thanks for all of the responses. I guess the take away is I don't need to be concerned about most of the load being on one leg.
I don't worry too much about campground wiring issues because of the surge protector doing diagnostics for a few minutes before it lets power go through to the coach.
I am on metered electric for the next 3 months so I may keep an eye on the usage, 25 amps for what was on seems awful high. I might start flipping breakers off to see what is what.
I think you are worried for the wrong reason. It appears you are concerned about the LOAD on 1 leg. Remember, there is NO REASON to distribute or attempt to distribute loads evenly. EACH leg is capable of 50 amps of load. Now, if your most common appliances in use came close to 45 amps with nothing on the other leg, then yes, I would transfer one of the common use higher amp users to the other leg. Doug
