power box

Several years ago someone had posted drawing and a little project box for 30A twist lock generator plug to 50A RV plug with metering and on/off switch so you didnt have to start the generator under load. I have made several searches but unable to find what I want, any help.

    The box I have for when I had a 30A trailer that plugs into the generator has a switch, volt/amp meter, and a 30A RV plug on it. Just wanted to build one for my 50A trailer
