A 50amp Dogbone is a must have for 30amp

Most camper panels are setup as 120 volt only across the board, regardless of Amperage. I would still haul around a generator to show you are a committed camp hauler ����
We're first time RV'rs. When researching what to get and how to outfit our rig, one of the 'must-haves' was a 50-30amp dogbone. I picked one up. So far this summer, we've stayed at three different sites where the 30amp plug had problems. in one case, our power management system indicated the plug was reverse polarity, the other two had bad 30amp breakers that would not stay engaged. Really glad I have this.
