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?

I see a lot of supposed experts talking about amperage without specifying voltage...then calling the guy an idiot.
Without knowing the voltage, you can't answer the question.
Since there are almost never 240v appliances on an RV, we should logically assume the electrician was talking about amps @ 120v. In that case the total amps (regardless of which leg they come in on), can easily exceed 50amps.
