30 to 50 amp adapter

[TravelinDog]

I've been looking for an adapter to plug my 5th wheel which has a 50 amp power cord into my generator that has a 30 amp twist-lock outlet and can't seem to find one.
So the adapter needs to have a male end for the 30A twist-lock outlet on one end and a female end on the 50A side.
Any ideas?

If you open just the image on Amazon or other site then use the advance post feature you can insert a link that shows the photo like the above Amazon link. Put something like 600 for width so you don't blow up the image to much.

It is important to read receptacles or plugs to get the NEMA numbers.

Be careful. There are a number of plug patterns. Some of them look identical but they are not.

For example the 30amp marine plug has a tab on ONE prong.

Here’s the 4-pin version:

Bucky good point, before clicking any link on a forum I let my mouse hover over the link to see where it is directing me to. I don't disagree about the software, just beyond the Moderators pay grade 😉

Would you post the NEMA number for your thirty amp twist lock? Is it a three prong or four prong?
Roger10378:
Many gensets have only a three wire twist lock.

I don't think either of the linked adapters are the correct ones. Most 30 amp generators have a 30 amp 220 volt 4 pin twist lock. I would think that the adapter is available some where but if it is not just buy the ends you need and make one.

Many people will not click on a link as it may not be what it appears to be.
Maybe this site could delete some of the ridiculously long threads about frivolous topics or upgrade the software?
I know the mods work hard and for free but c'mom man. This is 2022. This isn't dial up anymore.

That would be my guess.

Lots of choices online and at CW and other RV stores.
