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?

Not sure where you are coming up with amperage for shore power cord. Cord amperage is covered by NEC article 400. Ampacity is Art 400.5(A). #6 is rated for only 45 amps. #8 is rated for 35 amps. NEC allows you to go up to the next standard breaker which is 50 amp.
