As I said in my previous post which you must have missed:
You cannot use more than 24 amps on a 30 amp feed for any length of time. You simply can't get away with it. The 30 amp breaker in the pedestal or your main feed should trip if they're doing their jobs.
Beyond them tripping, your cord connectors will have heated up at that point and sooner or later, you'll blacken the blades and melt the cord caps and ruin the socket on the pedestal.
YOU CANNOT USE 3 HIGH AMP APPLIANCES AT ONE TIME ON 30 AMPS WITHOUT BREAKERS TRIPPING OR YOUR CORD CONNECTERS HEATING UP AND MELTING THE CORD CAPS.
The more boost your autoformer provides, the more amps that will be drawn. You can't get more than 24 amps for any length of time! Bypassing the 30 amp RV breaker by adding a 20 amp breaker is only going to ensure the pedestal breaker trips.
It would seem you misread my posts or I wasnt clear. Either way sorry you are so upset.
