50A Y-Adapter???

call the local utility, have them do a spot sheet , get a sparky in with a 200 amp meter base, amst, conduit , 4/0 alum wire, and panel, set up the service on the shed, put in a few thousand whats of metal halide lighting some ventalation and voila, your grow op is up and running.

Oh wait you just want ONE plug,,,, ah well then get someone who is good at what they do electrically and have them fish in a wire to the panel, hopefully you have a breaker space, if not have them install a little mini panel somewhere doable. and run a line out to the shed

Hello,

Consider using a Y Adapter as previously stated. Here is a company who makes an adapter similar to what you are looking for. I have never heard of a Y Adapter with a 50A Male to (1) 50A Female and (1) 15A.

50A Male to (1) 15A Female (1) 30A Female Y adapter.
Let me know if this is a solution.

Besides the known limitations of the cheater cord read the first post. The OP has a 50A pedestal and wants to add 15A outside of the RV.

To answer your question: Yes, buy a 50A to two 30A "Y" connector. Whack off one of the 30A female receptacles and wire up a female 15A socket. I've done it and it works well.

Then consider having the plug inside the shed and perhaps a light. Digging ditches etc will be $ but it's a seasonal site.

Because the shed is right next to where the new outlet would be...not on the exact opposite end of the RV where the existing outlet is. It would alleviate the need for a cord run around the unit.

My wife isn't crazy about permanently draping extension cords all over te place and intend to agree. Sounds like I should simply get a sparky in there and add a breaker and outlet.

How does this eliminate the extension cord draping?

I've have a 50A to 30A adapter and a 30A to 15A adapter. I could use both in series to ultimately have a 50A to 15A.

I've never seen a 50A to 15A adapter.

As far as circuit protection goes, you RV should have circuit protection against overload that would be activated whether you have it connected to a 50A or 30A source.

Might as well do it right---add breaker, run conduit, pull wires, small subpanel in shed and then add outlets in shed.

No extension cords
