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?

Stating an amperage without specifying the voltage is really only describing part of the story. More than 50A @ 120V? Sure. More than 50A @ 240V? Sure... for a few seconds until the breaker pops.
Honestly, RV power is listed in kind of a messed up way and it rarely gets clarified. A 30A hookup is 120V. A 50A hookup is 240V. So, if you just want a linear scale for comparison sake, a 30A hookup is 30, a 50A hookup is 100.
