I’ve said that it’s technically a code violation, but as long as there’s a 30-amp main breaker in the RV load center it should be safe.

Maybe I misunderstood something, I thought recently you said not to plug our 30a rigs into the 50a plug on the post because we wouldn’t have the protection of the 30a breaker at the post. I had a 50a EMS from my previous coach and continued using it for my 30a coach. I plugged into the 50a plug and used a dog bone adapter to attach my 30a cord to the EMS. Am I doing something wrong or is that okay?

I’ve tested many of the dogbone adapters available from TechnoRV and they all seem to be wired correctly and first rate. Find them here: https://technorv.com/products/50-amp-to-30-amp-rv-adapter

<EDITED> I took a look at one of the splitters (commercially made) and I even contacted the company since my testing of it, showed L1 as going to each side of the 15A side, they told me, "That is the way we make them", I tried to explain to them that is wired wrong for what I wanted to do which was test each side of a 50A, they said, you don't like it, return it, which of course I did, that was like 5 yrs ago and my own for testing purposes. Always something interesting with electricity, thanks for all you do.
