Yes: JamJanTan mentioned that his rig is only 30 amp therefore the 30 amp breakers in the rig will trip long before there is enough current to do anything to the 30 amp cord.
Remember that there are two breakers in line before hitting anything in the camper: The ones in the pedestal and then the ones in the panel inside the RV.
Now if there is a short in the cord, or in the internal RV wiring before the wiring goes into the RV's panel then it is possible the cord will act as a big fuse before the 50A breaker trips but that is unlikely.
