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.

So dog bone adaptors are ileagal devices and anyone owning them should be fined or jailed for creating an electracle hazard
I really do understand the point the people are making about undersized cables being a risk / fire hazard. However, I think the biggest risk is the poor state of repair of many 30A receptacles at campgrounds. On the whole, I think you're less at risk using the 50A receptacle if only because it probably hasn't been worn out through use.
