Agree with the earlier posters. We have an adapter that pulls from two of the RV outlets, combines and provides 50amps from a only 30 amp location. Cost vary from about $70 to $500 depending on all of the features.
Good luck,

No problem if ya watch what you use. I spend more time on 30 amp than 50 amp.

I have 50 amp in my rig and dont think I've ever had a site with 50 amp more than once or twice.
30 amp is fine. I've ran two ac's at one time with the fridge on electric.
I run one AC unit, the fridge, hot water tank, and lights without tripping anything. When using the micro wave I just shut the water tank off.

Have Fun!

Ditto on putting fridge and turn off electric water heater if you have one...I was told by my salesman that it pulls 14 amps!

My 2004 Pace Arrow motor home had two a/c's, a conv microwave, a washer/dryer all on a factory 30 amp service.
