The same should hold true if you use a 30 amp extension cord and dog bone adapter to adapt down from 50 amp to 30 amp.

I run my AC when using 50' of 30 amp extension cord (off of my 30amp power for my boat at my dock) plus my 25' RV cord without a problem. Very little power drop (using my progressive surge protector) off of the first 50'.
