Larrypride is correct. I was mistaken. The three blade plug I described is not an RV 30 amp 120 volt plug. It is an old style 230 volt 30 amp home clothes dryer plug.

The 30 amp outlet in the RV service box linked in a earlier message on this thread is indeed 30 amp 120 volt outlet. It is not the outlet I have on my Kodiak Cub or had on my previous TT. It is...

Thumbs down 3 blade 30 outlet

A standard 3 blade 30 amp outlet has two hot blades and one neutral blade. The two hot blades are each 120 volt to neutral and 230 volt to each other. These have been used for electric dryer...

Both 50 and 30 amp outlets are 220 volt outlets.

It is unlikely the dog bone that plugs into a 50 amp outlet disconnects any legs for its 30 amp socket output. The three pin 30 outlet still has the two 120 volt legs live and one neutral in it . ...
