One question I have is: did you watch the YouTube post from post #10? I’m thinking everyone here is stating that a 50 amp split phase service can provide 12,000 watts of energy. I’m not sure why you are using the term “combined” for the sake of disagreement. No one is stating that the 2 split phases are being combined within the circuits to create 240 volts. But as Mark Polk states in the video, the split phase does indeed produce voltage at the electrical pedestal that produces both 120 volt legs (2) measured to ground and 240 volts measured between phases. Again within the camper, the phases are not combined. Polk makes that distinction in comparing the 30 amp power as 3600 watts compared to 12,000 watts for the 50 amp. The OP started this thread looking for a simple explanation of watts in 30 and 50 amp. I think he’s gotten a drink from a fire hydrant instead.
