Exactly! This is the cord I have today.
Amazingly I got 2 large folders of paperwork with this RV with things like the previous owner's insurance docs, registration renewals and of course the pile of appliance owners manuals that you get with an RV, and nowhere does it mention if the rig is 50a or 30a.
I actually converted our previous Terry TT from hardwired to a 30a Marinco shore cord setup, so I was familiar with that part, but I had never seen a 50-30a adapter cord like this. Live and learn and appreciate comments from folks here!

Google 50 amp RV cord. They are different than what you have. I would guess that some previous owner made some changes, perhaps from RV 30A to 50A.

What does your cord say on the outside jacket?????? It may be 50A 4 wire 6/3 8/1 with a 30A on it's end that plugs into the pedestal.
Now I see the 30A male end on the cord is moulded on so I will assume it's a 30A cord.

Looks to me like you could cut off that 30 amp plug and replace it with a 50 amp plug. There should be 4 wires in there, not 3. You should have NEUTRAL, GROUND, L1, and L2.
Not necessarily !
That appears to be an L7-50P on the RV or possibly something else. Based on the label on the RV, I am betting that is not the original plug. I would have an electrician change it to the standard RV plug which is NEMA 14-50P. Note this is non-locking plug. If you want a locking plug, it would be an L14-50P but you would likely have to use an adapter (dog bone) to plug in at any RV park.

Ok the Marinco outlety on that cord is a 50 amp (4 contcts. you don't see the 4th but I do. it's on the outside of the outlet. it's the safety ground.
Yes they do make 30 amp detachble cords for 50 amp RVs.. I have one
Recommend you get a 50 amp detachable cord
Oh that 50 amp "main" breaker.. it's a double ganged right?
(I used the 30 amp cord when on 30 amp sites.. way easier to wrangle than the 50 amp one. those suckers are HEAVY).
