I agree with the post mentioning that you are mixing up the shore power AC amperage with the converter's charge output. 30A 120v has way more wattage than 50A DC. Using basic voltages without loss or overhead, a 50A 12v converter, assuming that it can really produce that much (which they rarely do), only uses about 600 watts, where a 30A 120v system shore power can provide that converter 3600 watts.
I do have a comment about the dual AC system on 30A AC shore power.
On my 2001 class A, instead of a manual switch, I have an Intellitec system which, when running on 30A shore power, monitors the load and, among other actions, will only run one AC at a time. To run both AC's, like others have said, I have to run the generator.
I have heard of some hacks that allow you to plug the secondary generator circuit up to a 15A or 20A plug on the pedestal and run both AC's from both 30A and 15A/20A AC shore power. If I take my RV to the river again in the summer I may be looking into that.
If you have that system it will probably be called Intellitec EMS. It may have a 30A/20A button as well.
