You really don't want to use that 3 prong outlet for your RV. It is a 240v 50A outlet with no neutral. The 3 wires are 2 hots and a ground. For an RV you need a 4 wire connection with a separate neutral and ground.
There shouldn't be a ready made adapter.

By the way, 50 amp RV outlets are not 50A 120v; they are 50A 240/120v split phase.
