Make sure the 50 amp breaker at the pedestal is off. Plug and unplug your adapter sever times. This should help clean some corrosion off and make sure your adapter fits tight. Also make sure the 50 amp outlet at the pedestal is mounted tight and secure.

You can also use fine emory cloth to keep your plug's blades in good shape.

It wont hurt and indeed, many 30A receps are worn out so you get a higher quality connection.

Very few 50A only sites tho.

X2. I've alsofound many 30 amp pedestal receptacles badly burned. The 50 amp receptacles are usually in much better shape. And, no. using a 50 amp receptacle (using the proper 50-30 amp adapter) for your 30 amp RV won't harm your RV. The voltage is the same. The 50 amp socket only has the ability to deliver more current.

I would suggest that you always use the adapter and connect to the 50 amp. The 50 amp contacts are going to be better than most 30 amps,

Actually, park we are currently in has about 1/2 of the sites as 50 amp only. I noticed that they do sell the dogbone adapters in the park store. :B
