I did something similar to what donpd did. I used a 50 amp range cord and wired a 30 amp rv receptacle and a 20 amp receptacle in a 2 gang box. Now I have the option of using the 50 amp pedestal receptacle instead of the 30 amp pedestal receptacle. Many times the 30 amp pedestal receptacle does not make a solid connection.
If you do this, please think strongly about putting a 20A fuse or circuit breaker in for the 20A outlet. (Ideally one would have a similar one for the 30A receptacle, as well, but IMHO there's somewhat less danger of really bad things happening there.) Even a spec grade receptacle won't be any too happy if somebody overloads it by 2.5x.
It wouldn't be a terrible idea to use a GFCI receptacle, either.
