not sure what you mean here.... if you connectr each leg of your panel
with it's own 30amp cable, you will have 30 + 30 amps or 60amps total.
using it all is jsut a matter of having the loads balanced between both
sides of the panel
I'be been using a 50amp cable for 8 or9 years now, I dont' find it
troublesome even though I leave the dock at least once a week. Only one
plug to disconnect, only one cable to store. With a splitter and 2 cords,
you have 5 plugs to worry about instead of 1 ...
My shorepower connection are amidship, I run the cable along the sidedeck
inside the weather boards to the aft deck then to the dock. When i leave, I
only roll the last 20' in a corner of the aft deck, takes 20seconds and i
only have one plug to worry about, not five.

after having used a 50A cable for awhile, I much
prefer a splitter and two thirties tied into a 50 amp service.That 50 amp
cord is like an python, and expensive !
