Is there a way to make a short "extension" type cord that could be plugged in to the 220 v plug in the garage (or whereever)on one end and then convert that plug (maybe with some kind of converter or?)on the other end to the correct 50 amp power source (plug) which we could use to plug in our rv cord?

I hope this explanation makes sense.

If the outlets are the 3-prong welder type then there is no way to plug your RV in there as there is only 220V available.
As a previous poster said, such an outlet does not have the neutral you need to correctly power your RV. No converter/adapter cord is going to solve that problem.
