50amp on RV, how to plug in at home?

I have a 50amp Wildcat, just pulled into driveway for first time. Was going to sleep in tonight with boys, but the AC keeps breaking the house breaker. I have the 50amp plugged into 3 prong dog bone, do I need to step it down to a 30amp dog bone first, then plug the 30amp into the 3 prong house plug dog bone?

I realize I can only run one AC (have two), but just have some lights and tv on and the circuit pops?

I will not store at house, so this is just a every-know and then kind of thing. Not sure I can justify installing a 50amp service?

I have a 50amp to 3 prong dog bone. Then the 3 prong end into a heavy duty extension cord. I have a 50amp to 30amp dog bone, do I need to plug that in first, then plug the 30amp into another dog bone (which I do not have, yet)?
