30amp service to 50 amp

I have 30 amp service travel trailer. In the summer I have problems with the breakers tripping when I run ac and other things. Someone told me I can buy a plug converter (to plug in the 30amp TO 50Amp plug)to 50 amp service at the camp ground. Is that safe?

    Yes you can get a dog bone but you will still have 30 amp service not 50.

    If you unit is only rated for a 30 AMP service it is not! You can go 50 to 30 but not 30 to 50. I wouldn't want to run 50 amps in on my 30 amp box.
