That’s my point when you balance the load there is no need for the neutral.

However these units most probably will never balance the load I find most have both AC units on the same leg.

We could get into Inductance, reactance and power factor etc but would be of no use here.

The real problem encountered in the 50 amp RV is the loss of the neutral. This commonly results in damage some time severe to the equipment in the trailer.

I use the Progressive portable line conditioner and it does well but I suffered some damage to the RV when I lost the neutral in the anaconda cord.

So I recommend doing or have someone do a complete inspection and tighten all of the connection in both ends of the anaconda cord and the receptacle on the back of the trailer as well as the connections at the panel inside the trailer in the first 6 months of use and then periodically about once a year there after.
