What we were hoping to accomplish is to have both 30A & 15/20A(110) at our hookup at our campground & not have to run a separate 110 feed.We have tried to plug into the rv system but blow the circuit breakers every time.This set up was to be a separate line for an infra red heater.

Ah, your plan as described will not work for that.. You need one of the following (well one of 2)

What I do is this... I have a "break out" box on the side of my motor home,, this can be an existing basement compartment and would be if I'd have known how to do it (I do now) but I'm glad I did it the way I did.

I unhooked the feed to the rear A/C from the breaker box ran it out to the box where there is a socket, ran a 12ga cord back to a Junction Box I installed, and there "Split" into two lines, all 12ga, one is the original line to the A/C. the second runs to a very different outlet.. (It will not accept a standard plug) I also have a matching adapter for the heater that plugs into it.. I never use both A/C and Heat at the same time.

You will need a way to feed power to the Infra Red heater independent of the RV's power system. One option (And I have used this) is to run ac cord out under a slide out.

Now.. on the park end,, If you use the 30 to 30/15 you will simply pop the park's breaker instead of yours.

Either use a 50 to 30/15, or plug into the park's 15/20 amp outlet independent of the 30


Trying to combine the two so you only have one cord to the RV.. WILL NOT WORK. And in fact may be dangerous, depending on the pedestal.
