CDNSENIOR....You'll never see a commercial version of what you're looking for because it would be dangerous. The standard three prong 110 volt outlet could be 20amp or 15 amp and you would have to know that for sure before you accidently plugged into tow 20 amp units putting 40 amps into your coach.
There is another solution. On my previous coach with 50 amp, we often camped at 30 amp campgrounds and wanted to run our electric heater off of the additional 15/20 circuit in the shore power box, but didn't want to run an extension cord through a window.
I added a small outlet box in the power bay and ran Romex through flexible plastic conduit to a new outlet I added in the main room in an easily accessible area. I also split that off to a second outlet in the bathroom. I made a 15' power cord that plugged into the box in my power bay and into the shore power 15/20 amp circuit. This gave me a completely separate circuit from the 30 amp shore power to run my electric heater or the wife could run her blow dryer in the bathroom.
I will be adding the same thing to my new coach.
