Those "50 ampers" cannot pull more than 30 amps through the 30 amp breaker, and 15 or 20 amps using a separate cord plugged into the breaker protected GFCI utility outlet. None of the 'Y' adapters, whether commercial or homemade, will work with an NEC compliant park panel.
I remember the last (10) time(s) this was discussed. The issue is that 50 amp coaches draw more of the 30 amps than 30 amp coaches in "normal camping mode". A 30 amp coach doesn't have enough equipment in it to draw all 30 amps, but a big bus with 3 A/C units, a 1500 watt mickey wave, 4 TVs and a residential fridge surely does.
