50A Y-Adapter???

Greetings! I have a new seasonal site and at the electrical connection point I only have a 50A female connection. I need a 15A outlet but I don't want to modify the wiring at the park service connection.

Is there such a thing as an adapter that has a 50A male plug on one end with a 50A female AND a 15A female connection on the other end?

Any help is appreciated!

Happy camping...

You could make an adapter and include a CB and GFI. Parts would cost a bit but perhaps justified since it's for a seasonal site. Weather proofing would be a concern.

But unless there is some unique reason for the question just plug into the RV.

An adapter like that would offer no protection to your 15 amp cord and devices causing a potential fire hazzard. Much safer to plug into the RV as suggested.

2Blue,

Can't you just plug into an outside outlet on your 5er?
If you don't have one, you could add one in a storage bay so you don't have to add any new holes in the skin.
