Amp Adaptors
I am new to RVing. I am trying to book a site that has 100amp hookup. I only have 30 amp RV. where do I get an adaptor for a 100 amp to 30 amps Adaptor. I found 50 to 30 but nothing for 100 amps.

The only thing with that is not being an authority having jurisdiction, they can't enforce the rules, levy any penalties or modify the rules. RV parks on the other hand would have to comply with a local AHJ and NEC. Not sure where in an RV you'd want to do better than the min. NEC rules? Possibly in buildings, but not that often. The problem with electrical in RVs is substandard workmanship and there's little or nothing an RV owner can do about it.
I do not think that the NEC "requires" anything.
It is not a Federal Law.
"The National Electrical Code (NEC), or NFPA 70, is a regionally adoptable
standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States."
It is not, regardless of containing the word "National" a Federal Law.
Additionally, the NEC is really the minimum standard, you can be safer than the standard for safe installation. Like wearing a belt and braces.
