Newell has built over 1250 custom coaches, none of which are exactly identical, so electrical load balancing will vary from coach to coach.

220/240volt appliances such as dryer's, and stove tops requires both 50 amp phased legs to function.

Coaches with single inverters will have specialized balancing to insure essential appliances such as refigerators, compressors, etc are placed on the inverted leg.

It is very important that when 'unplugging' the coach from shore power that you either turn off the breaker at the pedestal or keep the plug very straight while removing it. If the neutral prong disconnects before the two hot legs, bad things can happen to your electrical system, especially your inverter.
