What you propose will work, and probably 99% of the time you won't even notice the 30 amp current limit per leg. You could even parallel the two outlets, just not using the dryer while the RV is plugged in. It won't meet code, of course, but it will work...
Right- I was hoping the switch would allow it to meet code. I'm already maknig a small hole in the garage side of the wall for the outlet, might as well make another on the laundry room side for a switch. That SHOULD meet code, I would think, and provide a very simple safety precaution against one of our teenagers forgetting and starting the dryer while wife and I were outside getting the RV ready for a trip.
And the switch would have the added benefit of when someone inside goes to start the dryer and it doesn't work, it's easy to see if the switch is in the wrong position before they come hollering for "daaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!" ;)
