First, the standard 50 amp RV outlet is a 120/240V 4 wire receptacle, not a 120v receptacle. It is the exact same one that is used for the range in a modern home (a NEMA Configuration 14-50R). It has both a ground and a neutral along with two hots.
Older ranges were typically wired with 3 wire connectors, (a NEMA Configuration 10--50R) - 2 hots & a combined ground/neutral. No adapter can make this a safe connector for a RV.
