Why 30a (120v) at Home?
Curious what the extra 15a is for. We only ever need 15a at home where we park the rig and leave it on shore power all the time. 15a does battery charging and any fridge time on 120v. What else...

Typical 20A home circuits have a 20A CB and multiple 15A outlets and is not adequate for RV power.
And my house has a 15A CB with 270' of 14 gauge wire for 8 garage and outside 15A outlets (first one is a GFCI). It pays to check to determine exactly how your circuits are wired.
I also have a dedicated 20A outlet on a 20A CB. This is the only type of 20A plug that should be considered for a RV IMHO.
Note: Per above there are both 15A and 20A outlets available.
When on a 15A or 20A plug I first turn down my charger and never run the A/C. Keep in mind that the recommended sustained load is 80% of the rating and A/Cs are sustained loads.
