This may likely qualify as a "dumb" question.

I know that the 6 KW Onan is 120V output. However, the
Onan's output receptacle into which the shorepower cable
connects is made for split 240V (120V-0-120V), 50A output.

I am assuming (yeah, I know) that the two "Line" conductors
to the Onan output are simply paralleled to double the contact
area to handle the total current.

The big question that I have is:

Can a "normal" 240V input satisfactorily supply the shore
power cable without damage to anything in the coach?

Would each of the two air conditioners normally be wired
to separate 120V input lines?

I am planning to install shore power connections to my
home power system and want maximum flexibility. I plan
to install 120V/30A _AND_ 120V-0-120V/50A outlets on
my manual power transfer box outside my garage.

Cheers!
