50AMP on 30

I have a friend coming over for a few days and his coach is 50 amps, I only have a 30amp outlet for my coach in the garage. Will the 30amp work on his coach with a adapter?

Yes it will...
But he'll only have 3600 watts worth of power; instead of his usual 12,000
Tell him to watch how he runs his air conditioners, and the microwave.

Exclamation

yep, here's mine plugged into a 30amp connector puck, and then to a 15amp puck, and into the outlet : ) works perfectly.

both easily found in Walmart

the wonderful world of adapters makes using different size outlets easy...

That looks as if you're asking a gorilla to sip through a paper straw! .

We ran both air conditioners and the one refrigerator on a 30 amp plug today. Just the two ACs draw 24 to 25 amps according to our EMS surge protector. TurnerFam is right, the microwave and 2 ACs would draw more than 30 amp.
