Low demand for it also. Most RV's have a 30A or 50A connection point already.
The risk would be similar to using one of these:
There's just nothing to prevent the full 30 amps from passing though that or through either leg of the Conntek adapter then through an extension cord and to a malfunctioning appliance.
We are used to seeing multi outlet taps or power strips etc. but they are always going to limited by the 15 amp breaker in the circuit. They could have 10 outlets but you can't pull more than 15 amps through it.
What is different here is 15 amp rated parts, extension cords, appliances etc., being used on a circuit that has a 30 amp circuit breaker.

I think this is what you are looking for:

same thing:
http://cordtec.com/products.asp?id=744
It is rated 3,750 watts so two 15 amp outlets (not circuits).
I'm a little surprised it exists because, without any 15 amp circuit breaker protection, you could easily overload a 15 amp extension cord.
It is safe enough though if used correctly.

No, I haven't seen anything that does it correctly. I figured there would be a few contractor type choices but could not find any.
The question to answer is what amperage (in total) do you want available inside the RV?
A simple 30A to 15A adapter coupled with a 3 outlet tap gives you multiple outlets for maybe $5 spent:
Again, you are limited to 15 amps in total (even though you see three 15 amp outlets) and you are missing important circuit breaker protection.
If you plan to run more than one item totaling more than 15 amps then some sort of electrical panel or sub panel is needed to give you more than one circuit.
If you plan to limit your power requirements to no more than 15 amps at one time then a basic 15 amp extension cord will give you up to 15 amps in the coach. Remember that you could easily overload the 15 amp cord if it is plugged into a 30 amp outlet and no circuit breaker will be there to trip to protect it.
