how do you power 100 amps to the dual 50 amp service on a 80 amp feed?

You guys and your 100 amps...:S

It is a 240v80 amp feed ( read two legs). So in RV.net speak 160 amps...

You see LEG 1 from my main panel goes to LEG 1 of the 50 amp outlet... AND to LINE on the 30 amp outlet... 50+30=80

LEG 2 from my main panel goes to LEG 2 of my 50 amp outlet AND to LINE of my 20 amp GFCI outlet... 50+20=70 (under the 80 amp service feed)

I don't know if your playing with me or not... I know there are a lot of people the don't understand how AC power is supposed to be wired. I realize for the common good...people accept the fact that their 50 amp RV has 100 amps of power (BTW amps are not a unit of power--- WATTS or KVA would be correct units of power) ...50 amps of 120v one one bus....and 50 amps of power on another bus...so you have 100 amps of power compared to only 30 amps of power to a single 120v bus on a 30 amp RV. The problem arises when you make people think that you need a 100 amp service feed. No...you only need a double ganged 50 amp breaker...you'll have 2 lines of power that are 180 degrees out of phase from one another...a Common and a Ground...4 wires total.

I'll attach a photo of my MAIN outside meter panel...you will notice the breakers are all double-wide. In other words feed two LEGS.
