This is what happens when you plug a 50A (MALE) to 30A (FEMALE) adapter at the camp ground pedestal...
As you can see only one HOT leg of the 50AMP service is being used. Even if you are plugged into a higher amps leg your internal 30A circuit breaker will only allow you to use 30A of current.
Usually the connections are much cleaner on the 50AMP side as they really don't get used as much as the 30A service does...
We use the 50A(M) to 30A(F) adapter all the time in order to get better 120VAC service sometimes...
We have never had any problems using the RV50A(M) to 30A(F) adapters
