20 &30 amp to 50 amp adapter wiring?
I want to make my own and adapter box to come out from a 30 amp and a 20 amp outlet in the power pedestal to a 50 amp outlet. (See a couple of examples of what I'm referring to below). Does anyone...

They work in older parks, Where there are no GFCI breakers. But in newer parks the code requires GFCI on the 20 amp. now I have had folks insist that "It works just fine" with a GFCI, but if it does, that's a DEFECTIVE GFCI, because the GFCI is SUPPOSED to trip.
Here is a better idea.
There used to be a company web page psrv dot net (Gone now) (power solutions RV) do not know why they vanished, They sold a 100 dollar device.
Old system:
Rv power system----Line to Rear A/C-----------Rear A/C
New system
Rv power --Same line----Junction box 1 Junction box 2-----Rear A/C
Junction box one extended the original line to a pigtail with an OUTLET
Junction box 2 had a matching INLET and a 20 amp breaker.
50 amp site,, Plug outlet onto inlet
30 amp site, Pull outlet off inlet, Plug in outlet end 12ga Extension cord, plug into park 20 amp outlet.
This avoids all GFCI issues.... I built my own version of this product, And am using it as I type.
Additional benefit.... If I need 120 volts on service of RV when NOT at a park (IE: side of road) for the Air Conpressor or something....
Fire up ONAN, pull outlet off inlet,, and plug in Air Compressor.
