#2 won't work, they will be out of phase unless you buy a special adapter

I am thinking about relocating my shorepower outlet to shorten the leads =
and
get it out of the cockpit in a panel redo. Here is what I'm thinking:
 
Scenario A:
 
1. Split the hookup into two: 1 30 amp main panel and 1 30 amp secondary
panel for AC. This way I could hook up to two 30 amp circuits, when
available.
 
2. When 2 30 amp circuits aren't available, I'd switch over the secondary=
 AC
panel to the main 30 amp panel. Or simply use a Y to split the 30 amps to
the two panels. How does connecting one 30 amp circuit to two different 3=
0
amp breakers work?
 
 
Scenario B:
 
1. 1 50 amp main for both circuits and AC. I'd hook up a 50 amp cable to
this when available. Have only one panel.
 
2. When 50 amp isn't available, hook up a 30 amp cable with an adapter. H=
ow
does providing 30 amps to a 50 amp breaker work?
 
 
Right now I'm not maxed out at 30 amps, but am close when I run a lot of =
110
equipment. I might add another AC unit in the bow cabins, but am not sure=
. I
might also add a genset (diesel generator) to power 110 (and AC) when not
docked. It would supply 30 to 50 amps, depending upon the size of the uni=
t
and my needs.
 
Thanks for your help.
