Thx Drew - not sure I follow the adapter issue - when you use a cord that has a 30A male on the Gen side to a 50A femail on RV side doesn't it bridge the 30A betwen both sided of the panel? I am pretty sure I can run everything in the RV with this arangement - just not at the same time.
A standard adapter cable will do that, connecting both hots of the 50A connection to the one hot of the 30A (and hence powering all the circuits in the panel).
You wrote in a previous post "I think I read that this arrangement will actually only feed juice to one leg of the 50A plug which should provide enough to run my AC." That's what I was addressing those comments about. It should feed the juice to both legs, though you are naturally limited in total power consumption to what the generator can actually supply.
