I have a spliter that has 2 30 amp plugs that are wired to a 50 amp plug so I can plug into my motor home I was told that if I plug into 2 30 amp plug that I would get 50 amp to the RV? Has anyone ever done this? TOM

2 30A plugs wired correctly to a 50A receptacle will allow you to run as if connected to a 50A receptacle provided the 2 30A plugs are inserted into 2 separate 30A receptacles. There is one potential issue. Any 240V appliances you have may or may not work depending on how the 2 30A receptacles are connected to the campground mains.
EDIT:
Each 30A receptacle must have its own circuit breaker.

my MH is wired for 50 amp The lodge that I'm staying @ has 2 30 amp outlets and if none parks next to me I can use both plugs.

if your MH is internally wired for 30-amps then thats all you're gonna pull. but external appliances not regulated by the MH can be used off the post. but i gave never seen a post with 2-30 Mp. onnectiobs for the same site.
