50 Amp service with 30 Amp trailer
I have a very new Keystone Passport. It came with a 30 Amp power cord and I was told when I bought it to never plug it into a 50 Amp supply. But this past weekend, I kept tripping the 30 Amp breaker...

donn0128, good advice. Why was the pedestal breaker tripping, rather than the main in the trailer?
The pedestal breaker has probably been tripped hundreds of times by people overloading it. Over time, breakers that have tripped many times tend to get weaker and trip sooner. Also the socket could be in poor condition causing a voltage drop and a higher current flow.
A 50 amp adapter would fix the pedestal breaker problem, but more than likely move it to your power breaker if you don't lighten some of the load. Hair dryers and AC units are energy hogs.
