Home Depot shows Leviton RV plugs but I'm not sure that's a good brand any more.
Avoid the HD Leviton TT-30P if possible. They have a tendency to not fit into the outlet without forcing, which means that they are very difficult to remove for the outlet. I only use them for emergency use, until I can replace with one I order from Amazon. I recently had a major meltdown. Seems the park outlet that I had been on for a while suddenly developed a short in it (50 amp on a 30-2-50 adapter). Seems odd that it had been running like that for a couple of years until the new park owners came in and started messing with things (like all the electrical posts). I can't prove they messed with my electric but I find it odd that there hadn't been any problems but they took a pic on their phone of my plug where it showed a small burn mark in the plug housing and didn't bother to tell me. Of course it was all my fault until the electrician said it was a short inside the power post. Now I check to see if the plug is warm a couple times every week.
