Wiring for 50amp plug
I just rented a storage garage for our new Class A motorhome. It came wired with a 30 amp plug but it's one of the twist type plugs that are typically seen on generators. I purchased a 30amp to 50am...

That existing twist lock plug may not be wired the same as a 30 amp rv plug. Might be wise to get that changed now to an actual rv plug . 30amp rv is 115 volts & that twist lock might be 230 so your adapter may not work. Use a voltmeter.
You are correct on the MH 50 amp.
I did use a voltmeter with the 30 amp to 50 amp adapter plugged into the twist lock 30amp plug. It measures two legs at around 117 volts. I can't change the plug since I am only renting the facility. I was a little surprised that the facility doesn't use a standard 30amp RV plug since their website says wired for 30 amp RV service. From the other responses, it sounds like it is wired correctly. My fear was plugging in and frying my brand new Class A's electrical system!
