using 50A AND 30A on the same pedestal
This question has probably been asked before, but it is difficult to search for the topic because of the number of 30A vs 50A questions. So here goes... simple enough. We have a very large space in our RV Park and like many others we have a semi permanent Keystone 5er with 50A *and* a Class C Motorhome that is 30A with plenty of room to park both in the same space.
So, if we are living in the 5er and merely storing the Class C on the lot until our next trip, I presume there is no problem whatever to leave the Class C plugged into the 30A outlet with just the converter running to keep batteries charged, while using normal appliances and such in the 5er. Agreed?
But the real question is, and this will likely spark some debate, if we want to have friends come to visit and want to offer them accommodations in the Class C for a couple days... then what limitations does everyone need to observe? Obviously we should probably not all be running all three A/Cs at the same time *and* using other appliances like both microwaves, coffee pots, toasters, etc. I understand that we have 100A total power supply to the pedestal, correct? So if we all understand that limitation and are careful about using too many power hungry appliances at the same time, can we do this without problems?
And if by chance, someone forgets and too many appliances are drawing current at the same time, what happens? Do both 30A and 50A breakers blow? Or one or the other? Or what?
Thanks in advance for advice on this
