I believe RV 50 amp is wired the same as household 50 amp.
Having two 110 volt legs protected with a 50 amp dbl pole breaker.

So there could be a problem trying to run your rig if an adapter runs both to the single pole 30 amp, thus the amps drawn scenario as Chuck and Mary Ann mentioned.

A 30 amp adapter ties both sides of the 50 amp power center (L1, L2) together. The pedestal circuit beaker supplies only 3,600 watts,less it the voltage is below 120 volts (which it usually is during the summer).
