He recommended that I always use the 50 amp outlet when available. I know the main 30 amp breaker in the motorhome should protect the electronics, etc. The question to those electric minded individuals. Is it a good general practice to use the 50 amp circuit with an adapter to run my 30 amp coach? I don't have a fancy electric monitor system (on the wish list) just a cheap surge protector. Thanks in advance for your advice.

The simple answer is no. The cord will burn before the breaker will trip as the cord is only rated for 30amps....
