2: It was a 50 amp breaker pair and a 50 amp site.. I do not draw 30 amps at peak consumption on either leg so that simply could not be true.
(The only time I've tripped a circuit breaker (twin 30's) on my Generator I was daisy chain feeding a 2nd RV or other "Event" ... So If I don't trip 30's on the ONANm, no way am I going to overload a 50 amp park breaker)
