50amp to 30amp
I have a 50amp receptacle that's powered by my 10k generator and I want to add a 30amp box so that my friend can plug his camper in too, I know how to do the wiring but will his camper have a problem ...

his unit is designed to consume 30 max. so thats what it might do.
are you sure that one leg won't have 50 amps?

we quibble over what the word 'have' means. The breaker will support a 50amp load, yes. but the load from this RV designed for 30 amp service would (should) never be more than 30amp with everything on full. A light bulb (<1 amp) plugged into this one leg will still work.. not like 50 amp is FORCED on the end devices.
