Electricity? Never touch the stuff
I'm hiring an electrician to run a 50 amp line at my daughter's house for my RV. I only need 50amps because I have two A/C units. It's a 30' toy hauler. No W/D hookups. Everything is 110 (I believe). ...

That's what happening when when you plug a rv 50 amp using the dog bone into a rv 30 amp. To over current the neutral in that way you would have to be on a larger service and 120v breaker above 50amp.
Not quite. The 30A receptacle should be protected by a 30 breaker, which will prevent drawing more that 30A, thus not overloading the neutral, which should be designed for 30A.
Didn't say you would overload it on a 30 amp service.He was asking about tying the 2 line together on the same 120v service.I was saying that what the dog bone dose. Said "To over current the neutral in that way you would have to be on a larger service and 120v breaker above 50amp."
