Have aquired an older 5/w with 50 amp service, which I don't intend to use. Still have the service cord, minus the plug. I wish to splice the 50 amp cord into a 30 amp cord. Anyone diagram the wiring for me? Thanks.

Why would you not want go use the 50 amp service if your 5er was designed for it? Doesn't make sense to me.

If you camp where only 30 is available then just use the 50 to 30 adapter.

First off, Thanks for the good info. all, worked out great. But now as to the why; Trailer went to a camp that will never have more than 30 amp and will never be moved. I had the old 50 amp cord minus the plug, but I needed twenty more feet and just happened to have a 25 ft. thirty amp cord with only a male plug. Makes sense to me, but I am considered to be a little on the cheap side.
