As I said in post #2 do it right and add the circuit. The double 240 or if you have some single 120 CBs you can get those in double to make space for another standard 240 breaker. :)
I had a thought , the 3rd wire on the dryer is not normally a current carrying wire but actually safety gnd so I wouldn't piggy-back these outlets. Maybe I was taught wrong years ago when gnd added to wireing code , was taught to never use the gnd for current carrying, it's there for protection.
NEMA 14-30 has 4 wires. L1,L2,N,G
I know that but he is going to use the existing 6/3 on the existing dryer. If it's 6/3 ew gnd possibly ok. If just 6/3 he is going to turn a gnd into a neutral which I wouldn't do, but it's his job not mine .
But as I said, I would replace with #4 or larger , install subfeed panel, tie in dryer and add full 50 amp rv . I am very cheap about some projects but I am Mister Big Bucks when I do electrical . If the walls are easy to fish wires, no fire blocks , might just add wire , brkr , and plug but I would allways think I'm going to need a wire to something else one day
