50 amp to 30 (dirty power?)
At a campsite and the AC Voltage on my AC line meter I'd reading 116 to 115 voltage. It has jumped from 113 to 116 with AC running. Last night when it was down to 113 we ran the microwave and it dropp...

I made an adapter with a 50 amp male plug and two 30 amp female pigtails. I could choose the side that had the best current.

All Amps are created equal. And if one leg has higher voltage then the other, there is something really wrong.
I added a recep on the bed pedestal wired to a 30' extension cord.
My AC comes into the RV under the bed so it was easy to run the new cord into the power bay. When on 30A I plug it into the extra recep on the CGs pedestal so DW has a place to plug in her hair dryer or the electric water boiler.
there have been posts here where people have noted much better current on one side vs. the other. probably due to the campground taking old 30 amp service and "upgrading" it to 50 amp. there might be a much higher load on one side of the service, eg. a lot of additional sites are located on it than the other side. Are you saying that it is impossible for there to be a difference in current/voltage/power,etc. between the two sides? if so, that differs from what has been posted in the past.
