Cheater adapter to run 50 amp

We are at a campground that only has 30 amp. I tries one of those Chester adapters that have a 30 amp and 15 amp going into a 50 amp. Every time I plugged the 15 amp in it blew the surge protector on the outlet, Any ideas?

  • Hi,

    It depends on how the pedestal is wired. It won't work on a GFCI outlet, for example.
  • I use a 30A to 50A adapter that works

    but I've never used what you tried.
