If you need more current than 30A, sometimes there is an extra 20A outlet on the pedestal next to the 30A one for the trailer. Sometimes they have their own breaker, which gives you 50A total.Sometimes they are on the same circuit breaker as the 30A (not to code) so it won't help you.
You can plug things into that if you need to, but you probably won't need to.
I think that this is simply wrong. You can't add current to get more. Someone who really knows this should chime in. And.....how would you connect your trailer to two power sources? A 20 amp service will carry a max of 20 amps, likewise with a 30 amp service. If you could somehow connect them, the 20 amp leg could not carry more than 20 amps. Where did you get this idea?
Just read it again. You are talking about running a separate cord to power a separate appliance. I suppose you are correct. Sorry, I misread your post.
