Using a cord rated for 30 amps that is plugged into a 50 amp plug is not really the safest way to plug in.
I'm afraid that this is an incorrect statement. A 30 amp RV has a 30 amp main breaker in the converter panel. Because this is at the load end of the shore power cord, it's virtually impossible to draw more than 30 amps through the cord. It is 100% PERFECTLY safe unless you have some really old RV without a main breaker in it.
I guess the adapter manufacturer, Camco, and the Canadian Electrical code are wrong. We should let them know.;)
