50 amp to 30 amp

Are you talking about the twist lock Marinco plug that connects to the RV? The other end plugs into 50 or 30 amps depending on the plug. 30 amps furnishes 110vac. The 50 amp furnishes 110vac to both sides. i.e. It could be 220vac although RVs don't use 220vac. They just use both sides of the transfomer and furnish 110vac to all circuits. Why tyey they don't furnish 220vac to the dryer is beyond my comprehension when it is available. May RV parks just furnish 110vac on both sides and being in phase isn't 220vac.

I have the twist lock and thought I needed the high priced one. I paid $65.00 on sale at Camping World. The cheaper ones didn't seem to fit or stay plugged in.

I and I think others don't fully understand you post.
What connection does your Generator have?? A 30amp plug in or twist lock?? Is your 50amp cord a twist lock at your RV and plug in at the other?

I have a 50 to 30 dogbone adapter like above. But since we often stay at a campground in the mountains that has only 30 amp service, I bought a 25' 30 amp cable with 50 amp twist lock on one end and 30 amp plug on the other. Much lighter, more flexible, and easier to handle, especially in cold weather, than the 50 amp cable.

Many places sell a 50 to 30 amp reducer. All it means is that you can't run as many things with 30 amp as you can 50 amp...like air conditioners, microwave, toaster & hair dryer at the same time.

This one, unless I don't understand where twist-lock comes into the picture.

Stay away from? Yeah, Home Depot generators.
