Many RV's have a detachable shore tie cable. Seems more common with 50-amp but I've seen it on 30's also. Keeps from having to have cable storage right at the power entry, and some of the 50A cables are so heavy they'd be very hard to feed through a mouse hole like many 30's. I'm glad ours (30A) doesn't have that. One less connection to give trouble.
Yes, the Leviton 30A receptacle, that mounts in a box, is what I'm using on my extension and will put on the 50 ==> 30 dog bone.
Thanks. I kelp hearing mouse hole and wondered what the heck. Yes, now that I think of it the first M/H i got was a Hurricane and I do believe the cable store separate and had a connection on the outside that was yellow. I thought the 50 to 30 would stop that but it didn't, just ruined a dog bone. Note that adds another connection point to overheat.
