Park pedestal wiring
Just wondering if anyone knows the typical wiring for a park pedestal. My question is...Is the 30 amp outlet run off the same wiring as the 50 amp just with a smaller breaker and single hot? If I us...

Frequently (but doubtless not universally), the entire pedestal is limited to 50A maximum from any combination of the receptacles.

Since so-called "50 amp RV service" is in fact 100 amp service because it's 50 amp across each of two legs any pedestal wired in this manner would offer a minimum 100 amp service, not 50.

The 50A RV service is 50A 120/240V split phase service. It is not a 100A service in any sense, although it does supply the same power as a 100A 120V single phase service would supply (12 kW in both cases).
You're splitting hairs over definition ... I've simply pointed out that your declaration "the entire pedestal is limited to 50A maximum from any combination of the receptacles" is inaccurate since the total potential draw from 50 amp RV service is in fact 100 amps (12,000 watts) - i.e. 50 amps / 6,000 watts per 50 amp leg.
