Meaning if you had your 30 Amp service for TT and you had a separate box to distribute the 50 Amp service to say electric heaters. The 50 amp circuit would be separate from the 30 Amp.
FWIW (and not trying to confuse you) a 50A service is in fact TWO 50A services at 110 volts each. That adapter you need will only draw from one side of that 50A service.
I thought the service on the pedestal was 50 Amp maximum.

We are going to a wine fest and the area we are camping has 50 Amp electric service, our rig takes 30 Amp service. If I purchase an adaptor from 50 Amp (male) to 30 Amp (female), will it be ok? I am not sure if the 20 extra amps will harm anything..
Thanks in advance.
