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...

What I don't understand is why the heck the NEC requires every single pedestal in an RV park to have a 15/20 amp recept. in addition to a 30 amp and/or 50 amp one. Has been like that for decades. Maybe a holdover from 5+ decades ago or for maintenance staff?
My guess is because it is the only GFCI protected source of power at the site, so people will be less likely to carry an adapter and plug their extension cord into the 30 or 50A service via the adapter leading to outdoor electrical use without GFCI protection.
