Be VERY careful using more than ONE outlet at a time on RV pedestals, they are not designed to have two cords from the same coach in use at the same time. If you are connected to a double headed pedestal (designed to provide power to two RV's you are probably fine.

If the 15 amp circuit is a gfi it will trip . At least it did when I did it. It probibly would work ok in a gfi if the ground wasn't connected.
