Add extra circuit

You don't need a 50 amp service, or even one leg of the 50 amp to run one a/c

Remove the a/c circuit from the breaker in the panel
Get a small double breaker box, but in a 20 amp c.f., Conner the a/c to that
Run a new cord circuit 12 gauge from box to o outside with a 15 or 20 amp duplex make plug on the end

A single 20 circuit from the power pole is all you need for the air
And this will work every where
Not all camp grounds have 50 plugs

Do that or change the th over to 50 amp service with new breaker panel and new 50 amp cord

Bingo - for the Wiz!

You could follow his advice....and/or

Often the 30amp plug at the pedestal is well worn, making for a bad connection (check it).

*If* the campground has 50amp, connect (via a 50 to 30 amp adapter)
your 30 amp service there.

That won't solve your problem - but a good connection on/for *ANY* wiring is pretty essential.

*If* the campground has 50amp....you should now have two other choices
(the 30 and 20 amp) for a secondary power supply for your A/C -or- microwave.
Convert the 30 amp to 20 - and/or (if no 50 amp), use the 20 amp and the 30 amp as posters have suggested.

You WILL be $$ ahead -vs- converting your trlr to 50 amp......and as an added bonus, you won't be 'fighting the anaconda' (50 amp cord) -
or asking the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) or RV Net for solutions to that one, LOL!

Hmmmm.....what did Travolta say in Grease......"It's electrifying?"
