Plus the maximum recommended sustained load is 80%. ie 24A for 30A power.

Iโm starting to think to use the protectant and some rain shielding.

It is likely that weather is playing a large part in this.

Remember..
-The plug/socket in the pedestal was unaffected.
-plug/socket at 30A end of adapter was burnt.

Providing you keep the plug blades clean and never plug in with the power on, you shouldn't have a problem for the occasional time a 30 up to 50 amp adapter is needed and it's done all the time. If you have a choice of plugging into a 50 amp receptacle in a pedestal instead of a 30, that can often be a better choice because 50 amp receptacles are often in much better condition.

Is there a weather shielding product or method for a hanging plug/socket?

In wet conditions dielectric grease helps but it is really a non conductor. If you keep your plug blades shiney clean with emery cloth and use DeOxit you will have a better connection. Deoxit is conductive, and a cleaner.

This "service temporairly unavailable" problem is sure getting old. Can't even make a link.
