Understanding 50A in my RV
I understand there are two legs, each carrying 50 Amps to the RV but I'm having trouble understanding what gets serviced by L1 and what gets serviced by L2 of the 50A service and why are there two leg...

Remember. On most RV 50 amp interior breaker boxes, The L1 and L2, it is every other breaker on the legs. L1, powers the 1/3/5/7/9 and L2 powers the 2/4/6/8/10. L1 and L2 makes no difference in this. L2 could be ODD and L1 could be EVEN. There are exceptions, but this is true for most. Doug
Not on RVs I have owned, and likely most 50 amp RVs. The buss is split at the main breaker located in the center of the breakers those to the left on one leg those on the right on the other leg. If it was as you describe, then picking up 240 volts at the panel would be easy. As it is only was is a double - double half space breaker for the main and the other double to feed a 240 volt appliance.
