    SNIP:"I you have a 30/50 splitter that plugs into a 50 amp
    receptacle then you are utilizing a 50 amp service, with a pair of 50 amp
    breakers tied together. 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 !" Bob England

    I don't quite get what you are saying here Bob. If I take two 30A's the first
    question is whether they are on the same phase or not- that affects what I can
    pull.
    Secondly where do the two 50A breakers you mention come from? The shore has two
    30A.
    Finally these Y's cost close to $400 new - although some are a lot cheaper at
    consignment stores - curious whey are so many around second hand- people tried
    them and had problems maybe with phase matching? Given that price a 50A python
    may be cheaper!
