Read of someone popping a breaker when trying to use both sides simultaneously.

Read of someone popping a breaker when trying to use both sides simultaneously.

I've never came to the place where I needed it so I assumed it would work fine. It would seem that if the were simply spliced together on both sides the 30 am breaker wouldn't pop since there was still 15amps on the other side thereby giving 45 amps total before any breaker would go. A continuity test is definitely in order before its hooked up. I've talked to an electrician before about how rvs are wired and they are a little confusing for them too. The 50amp receptacles are 220v and we only use 110v. something to do with common vs floating ground I think and perhaps this multi plug changes it
