it would be like plugging your 50A rig into the 30A outlet in a campground. Only half of your rig's panel would be powered....even still, I would be extremely cautious in keeping the loads light

It is real easy to wire a Furon 50 amp twist lock male end on to a 30 amp cord so no adapter is needed. My Hurricane 31S was built as a 30 amp coach and I converted it to 50 amps with a new power center and rear Mach EZ cub rear A/C. I already had the 35 ft 30 amp power cord and a 30 ft 30 amp extension cord, so I made the best use of them. I can run the converter, one A/C, the frig and the microwave on 30 amps. I find the 25 ft 50 amp power cord heavy cumbersome as compared to the 30 amp power cord so I use the 50 amp as little as I can. The only dog-bone I have is a 20 amp male plus 30 amp male to 50 amp female for those summer days in Texas when 50 amp pedestals are not available.
