Pulling more than 50 amps ?
Our park electrician says that some of the big rigs with 3 ACs and electric everything can sometimes draw more than 50A from a 50A pedestal. Truth or BS?

100 amps available....50 amps per leg x 2 legs...so answer is yes
fcooper is right. You are not thinking about how a 50 amp / 240 Volt system works.
You have 2 120 volt legs with 50 amps available on each leg not 25 amps on each leg. 50 + 50 =100 amps of 120 volt power.
