Not really an issue. The Cord-to-Adapter connection may get a little hotter than Cord-to-30A-Receptacle so be sure the contacts are clean.
Going the OTHER way, 50A coach to 30A pedestal, is very likely to overheat stuff, since the coach can present so much demand. I was afraid at first that was what you were working with.
As noted ^^^ your coach is plugged into 50A, but still protected inside with your 30A main breaker. No worries!
Actually, neither 50amp coach to 30amp pedestal or 50amp pedestal to 30 amp coach present any problems. There is a 30 amp breaker protecting the systems in both instances. In the example of 50amp coach to 30 amp breaker the breaker in the pedestal will protect the circuit. In the 30amp coach to 50 amp pedestal, the main breaker for the coach protects the circuits. The biggest problem with the 50amp coach to 30 amp breaker is the fact that the coach will have to manage electrical usage so as not to trip the pedestal breaker. That isn't a safety concern (unless the boogie man is waiting for you outside your rig) but it is a dang inconvenience.
