Is there a safe adapter so I can use my 50 amp service cord plugged into his 110 receptical?
It will be cold (35 degrees) so I will use propane for hot water and for the furnace. But I need electric for lights and furnace fan.
I can’t run the generator because of HOA police and neighbors

Your converter will only draw 5 amps @ 120 volts so all is good to use all the 12 volt stuff. Try to avoid using any heavy draw 120 volt devices like portable electric heater, head strip on A/C or electric on water heater. The brass pins on a 15/20 amp plug will overheat in most adapters when the current draw gets above 12 amps. Do not use any of the round puck adapters if you can avoid it, as the tend to overheat even in low current draws.
