Plugging 30A 5th wheel into 50A service
Will I have any problems if I plug my 30A fiver into 50A service at a RV park. I will not be drawing any more than 30A, but the park says I should pay $50 deposit to rent a "box" from them.

Just remember that you will have a 50 breaker feeding #10 30amp rated cable, so if you have a problem ahead of the trailers 30 main breaker, you could have an electrical fire risk. Chris
Same difference AFAIC!
To the OP, get the 50A to 30A dog-bone, use it and don't worry.
