Shore power 50 amp to 15/20 amp

[aintnothin]

I want to hook up my 2001 damon ultrasport to the house just to keep the batteries charged. The outlet is only 5' from the coach and can't see pulling out the 25' cord and then plugging in the 50 amp to 30 amp adapter then the 30 amp to 15/20 amp adapter to do this. Can a 50 amp to 110 v, 6' cord be made? What would the wiring be?

Power adaptors are cheap 50 to 30 and 30 to 20 amp. Why would you want to make a cord configured that way? You'll probably have a bigger investment making your new cord.

Yes. Buy a range receptacle at your local hardware store. A surface style will work. Range Recept But a good quality 12 gauge extension cord.
Cut off the female end on the extension cord.
Strip back cut off end to gain enough insulated black wire. Connect the black wire to the parallel terminals brass colored screws. Make sure the wire between the two terminals is insulated and not touching any other terminals.
Connect the green wire to the green screw
Connect the white wire to the silver screw terminal.

You should change the title. You want to change from 50 amp to 15/20 amp, not 110.

I have the same situation. I just leave the 50-30 amp adapter attached to the coach and then added the 30-20 (110) amp adapter to a short cord. I connect everything inside the power bay until I'm ready to leave. When I leave, I just unplug the 110 power cord with the adapter on it from the coach. I don't think I would spend the time, money, and effort to create a specialized cord, since you have to have a 50-30 amp adapter with you anyway.

There you go - let's not get lost. 🙂

There are many 50a wiring diagrams on the 'net.

You lost me at hooking up reducers in the coach.

Just use a 12 ga extension cord for the 15-20 amp circuit then the hook up the reducers in the coach.
