Dual-15-adapter-generator

Anyone know where I can get one of those dual 15 amp to 30 amp RV plug adapters. The male end has two plugs for the house style outlets and the female is a single 30 amp RV socket. I have seen them posted here but can't seem to find one. The Amazon link dosn't work anymore.
Thank You, Dennis

    If I am not mistaken they have dicontinued making those because of liabilities. Seems people were not checking to insure the outlets were not divided causing 220 to be on the 30 amp side. I have one and always check voltage with multimeter before using it. The newer ones only have one 15 amp male plug on them.


    Not what the OP is asking about, sounds like you are talking about the 50amp "adapter" that attempts to use a 30amp and a 15 amp circuit

    example

    2 males plugs (inlets) and one outlet. Doesn't sound very safe to me. What happens when you plug in one. The other is live and you could get a shock or it could touch something metal and short.

    I think I know why you want to do it but it is dangerous.

    The OP is looking for an adapter block with 6 pins on the male side; it plugs into a duplex outlet and has a 30Amp RV female on the other side.
  • @ males plugs (inlets) and one outlet. Doesn"t sound very safe to me. What happens when you plug in one. The other is live and you could get a shock or it could touch something metal and short. Also. years ago, and still legal today, we wired outlets with 3 wire +ground and the outlet had 230 volts. 120 in the top/ 120 in the bottom. 240 between hots. You plug into one of those and bang. Big black scorch marks on everything close by. I think I know why you want to do it but it is dangerous.

    I know which one you're talking about but don't see it on Amazon either. I believe CW has them.
