50A service provides TWO 50 amp legs at 120V each; 6000 watts each for a total of 12000 watts.

I found this information on page 50 of my Keystone Owner’s Manual:

"50 Amp Service

If equipped, a 50 amp shore line cord utilizes four wires. With the 50 amp service, two of the four wires carry 120 Volts at 50 amps each when plugged into a true 50 amp power source. 50 amp service gives the versatility to operate more components simultaneously because more power is available. Keep in mind, it is not unlimited and it still may be necessary to choose between your equipment based on the power available. Please use the chard supplied as a reference."

If you don't believe me, here is another link to check out. Or, you can simply search for 50A service on the web and you will find a ton of information.
