To the OP. Your adapter is connecting to one side of the 50A service to provide 110V to your unit. The 30A breaker in your panel is still the limiting factor, and that is OK.
Using the 50A to 30A adapter is actually a GOOD IDEA, even when 30A outlets are available as you usually get a better connection at the pedestal.
This is what I do with no problems.
