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...

You really need to learn power managment. AC 18 amps running, refer another 6 or 7 hair dryer puts you into overload. Especially ill bet you also had the water heaternon electricity too. Switch refer and water heater to gas and be sure to turn off the AC when DW wants to use the hair dryer. Then youll be fine without any adapters
CORRECT amp draws
1. Roof AC no more than 15 amps at 95 degrees(more likely 13 to 14 amps Hi Cool)
2. refer 2.5 amps(2 door) to 3.4 amps(4 door)
3. Water heater 10 to 11 amps
Using a 50 amp plug and adapting down to 30 amp will cause NO PROBLEMS at all. Your RV's 30 amp main breaker still protects the RV and interior 120 appliances. You will only be using 1 leg of the 50 amp (which means the supply is a 50 amp breaker to your RV). Doug
