But I have a related question:
Can a person plug their RV into the 30 Amp receptacle and then also use the 20 amp receptacle with some kind of powerstrip and converter for outside power needs to increase power availability? For example, I have an induction hotplate to cook with outside. Can I use the 20 amp service coming out of the pole instead of plugging into my RV?

I carry a 10 x 10 screened canopy and a 40 foot LED rope light that I take with me on 1 week or longer trips. I'll set up the canopy and put the site picnic table inside for outdoor dining. I use an extension cord to run from the pedestal 20 amp to the canopy for power for the lights at night or a toaster for breakfast in the morning. I have never had an issue doing this and have never run into a "one plug rule" at a campground.
