50 Amp Receptacle to Inverter
Hello all! Ok, so backstory is I'm doing research on installing a 3000w inverter in my travel trailer, and rather than go through a super complicated and expensive direct to panel wire install, I'm...

This is definitely one area where, at least to some extent, you get what you pay for. A $300 pure sine wave 3000W inverter is either going to be significantly overspecified (not capable of putting out anywhere near its rated output continuously), or not actually pure sine wave, or very poorly constructed with sometimes dubious safety.
Anyhow, wiring the hot output of the inverter to both hots of the 50A receptacle for your shore power cord is apropriate and is what the 30A to 50A adapters do. There's no inherent safety issues with that wiring setup.
