I installed a 50 amp outlet with 30 amp wire and 30 amp breakers. I have 7 RVs, and none of the 50 amp units use more than 30 per leg, so this configuration worked great. Just keep in mind that the maximun output per leg will be only 30 amps, any more will trip the breakers.
For all the ones that tell me that what I did is wrong, here is a kicker; I normally end up plugging a 50 amp coach in each one of the legs of the 50 amp plug (with a 50 amp Y adapter), all AC units running (in Florida summer) and never tripped a breaker or heat up the cables,
