I've done this many times, but generally the 15/20amp outlet is from another source, such as a nearby building, using an extension cord to reach it.
For some reason, the GFCI protected outlets, which are now common and normal in almost every campground and rv park, do not play well with these adapters, and they will not pass thru the power to the RV.

Why would a GFCI not allow the power to go through? I would think in the splitter that the neutral and ground are combined with the 30 amps neutral and ground. Basically the 15 or 20 amp side only provides one of the hot legs.
