Do you have a dryer outlet with a 14-30 outlet? Could make an adapter.
Just the neutral pin is different on 14-30 vs 14-50
The electricity is the same.
I have a 50amp to 30amp adapter that I have used at many CG's, but I have never seen a 220volt to 120volt adapter.
Are you suggesting they make a simple adapter that reduces 220 down to 120, that would allow you to safely plug in your RV.
I have never seen a CG wired for 220, I will run from such a CG if I see one...cause my limited knowledge tells me that even a 50amp RV is dual legs of 120...NOT 220 that dryers require.
