Also campgrounds usually don't put a load on the power post so they don't know if the circuit breaker is bad unless you tell them. Our posts all have 20, 30 and 50 amp receptacles. If there is a problem with a 30 amp one we have an adapter to plug into the 50 amp one.

ROn, we were just camping at MBTP in Myrtle Beach and I was chatting with a maintenance guy. He said they check their breakers during the winter and replace a bunch every year. He gave me a little tip. He said, whenever there is a 50 amp plug, I should use my dogbone adapter and plus into the 50 amp plug, even when there is a 30 amp one available. he said i will still only get 30 amps to my camper but that the breaker will be less likely to trip since its a 50 amp one. My breakers inside the motorhome will protect my internal wiring.
Sounded pretty legit to me.
