15/30/50 SHORE POWER PLUG IN ?
My camper, listed below, uses what I believe is, a 30 amp shore power plug. I have a 15 amp adaptor. That is the standard looking plug in right? Am I correct in thinking a 50 amp connector is 220 v...

Bob the best thing for you to do is search for a schematic drawing of a 50 amp to thirty amp adapter.
The fifty amp plug will only have one hot wire running to the 30 amp socket. There are three wires in the adapter, one black hot, one white neutral and one green ground. You will not see them but the schematic will show you how they run.
When you plug into a 50 amp panel using an adapter the is no chance you will get more than 50 amp potential and the breaker in your distribution panel will limit your rig from using more than 30 amps.
It will be safe.
