Electrically either way will work but generally speaking, the fewer the plug/connector connections the better. My choice would be the 50-15 in the link. A dogbone adapter is also preferable over a puck style.
One thing you should do is always turn the power off before plugging in (either at source end of power cord or inside an RV) otherwise you can end up with pitting on the contacts and dirt buildup leading to overheating. Ensure plug blades are kept clean. Had two 15 amp extension cords go up in smoke in our driveway in a short period to time from failing to shut the power off. Now have a 30A recept. c/w disconnect in our carport.
If you can't turn off the power the outlet as suggested above, plug together 2 of the adapters as your last step (rather than plugging into the wall or the TT last). That way you have a fairly beefy and infrequently used set of connectors that are taking the abuse.
