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?

Yes, a rig could draw more then 50 amps if you combine the two legs. If the rig actual draws more then fifty the rig's 50 amp main should trip. The rig electrician is referring to could be wired incorrectly.
Design of the rig should be done in such a manner as to prevent this from happening.
