In reality, in terms of load on the cable, there will be not many Motorhomes that will charge a battery at 120A @14.2V DC (this would be the maximum for the Victron Multiplus 3000VA, which is a common higher end unit and which few owners will have bigger).
When you do the maths, this means an AC current of less than 7.5A (or 1750W), so well within the capacity of a regular EHU lead, and using the EHU lead is not a limiting factor like it would be if attempting to charge an actual EV car.
I don't know why having this adapter is a waste of time for an Motorhome? If say someone is going to the shops in their Motorhome and uses an EV charge point for say an hour while they are there, that is a handy charge going into the leisure battery.
I am ignoring the aspect of IF it is acceptable to use the point as that part of the discussion is irrelevant to the maths of what is achieved by using an EV point on a Motorhome.
