Look at the male end of your power cord - the end you will plug into campground power. If the 3 legs are all parallel, you have 50 amp service in your rv. If 1 leg is straight and the other two legs are angled, you have 30 amp service in the rv. Both have a ground pin in addition to the legs.
Some campgrounds have both 50 and 30 at a site - ask what they have and you may not need an adapter this time. You will need it one day. Some sites have only 30 and 20 at a site, in which case you will need an adapter if you have 50 amp service.
Remember if you have a 50 amp rv and use an adapter to the camp's 30 amp outlet, you can't run two ac's, and maybe not a microwave and one ac.
