It is not that hard to exceed 50 amps in an rv with 2 ac's. I can run (barely) both ac's on a 30 amp. With the charger off, and the fridge on gas. The local lake only has 30 amp at the larger spots, go figure. The fridge is a maybe with both ac's, the charger popped the braker at the panel. Assuming the microwave pulls close to 8 amps, battery charger, and a simple hair fryer (drier) at about 13 amps, you are over 50 amps. Some of the toy haulers have a 3rd AC in the garage.
As for the confusion on the naming of 50 amp services, they are 50 amp 240 volt - hence the name, we are splitting them into 2 50 amp 120 volt services internal to the rv. I have yet to see any 240 devices (other then transformers and surge supressors) in an rv from the factory - none of them would work on 30 amp or less.
The 30 amp adapters put 120 volts to both sides of the internal braker panel, so everything works, and unlike the 50 amp - which is up to 50 amps in both sides, there is a total of 30 amps between the sides. You can split it 15-15, 5-25, or put all 30 on the same side, it doesn't matter.
