at a campsite and no way i can plug in my 110v extension cord, but i can plug in my 30 amp cord, ids there a adapter i can use to onvert my 30 amp fem end to accept my 110v plug?

Why can't you just plug your extension cord into the outside 120VAC receptacle on your trailer and plug your trailer into the 30A PEDESTAL Service.I can't remember a campground that only had a 30A Pedestal service without a 20A service as well.If you are trying to sneak some 20A service don't forget it is way to easy for management to just follow the cord to your setup hehe...Roy Ken

Roy, we have lots of the 30A only posts around here in the older CG's that have not been updated. Maybe common in other area's too. :(

Actually if you need one fast, I have noticed WalMart carries them at most of their stores now.Suprisingly they also have the 30a to 50a adapter and insulation kits for the sky lights.I have also noticed the WalMarts that freely allow Campers to camp out usually have very large sections of camper equipment!Lowes/Home Depot/ West Marine would also be likely to have them.

Not trying to steal a damn thing when my 50 amp is pluged in it blocks the 120v duplex, so i was going to plug in my 30 amp plug and use a adapter so i can have my coffee pot and gridle in the morning

Even WalMarts that *don't* "freely allow Campers to camp out" have large selections of "camper equipment"..:W

30amp cords are 110/120 volt same as 15/20 amp outlets.

So the proper question is this: Is there a 15 to 30 adapter

The answer is YES, any RV store will have it,, and possibly Wal*Mart.

For clarity, your 30 amp cord is a 110 volt cord. You need a 30a to 15a adapter available at all RV dealers and even many campground stores.

Going to ask this time--what source in your history provided an outlet/receptacle to be called a "plug"?

Sorry, my Dad was an electrician and also worked for GE. If I had referred to a receptacle as a "plug", there would have been a tongue lashing. Maybe this is a regional thing but can be confusing in posts about wiring and use.

Perhaps the OP can chime in here. Perhaps he wants to plug both in outside? You cannot plug a griddle AND coffee pot in the same 110v 15A outlet. Both together will probably exceed 15As and trip the breaker.

This is why you have split plugs at your countertop at home.

No attitude there. Grumpy Old Men comes to mind for some reason...

Sometimes a little thought about your problem brings the answer to the front.

With 50 amp service, plug them into an outlet and forget about it, or if trying to use it outdoors, plug your cord into an outside outlet on your rv.

I could run both off my 30 amp service.

A friendly answer to a post I originally was going to ignore because of the quote above.

Edit: If you had a signature line that told about your rig, some of the comments and suggestions might have helped you more, and maybe sooner.
