Case in point...some people add a second air conditioner and instead of converting over to a 50-amp coach, they will install two connectors on the coach...a 30-amp and a 20-amp...thus giving you more power.

The "dongle" is another name for a portable EMS.
I'll reword that then!
There's absolutely NO benefit to your 30 amp coach using the 50 amp plug at any pedestal with a 50 amp EMS.
If you overload your 30 amp system plugged into a 50 amp with or without the EMS you could possibly damage your shore cord due to the 50 amp breakers not sensing the overload & not tripping.
If you have a 30 amp coach get the 30 amp EMS.......
If you have a 50 amp coach get the 50 amp EMS.
It's as simple as that!
