Surge protectors 50 or 30 or both
We just bought a new outback TT and it is 50amp. What if we go to a campground that has only 30amp? Can we use an adapter to change the 50 to a 30 or do we need to buy 2 surge protectors, one for 50...

You don't need both. I'd get a 50 amp surge protector and a short 50 to 30 amp plug adapter. Then you are good to go at either a 30 or a 50 amp campsite. The (50 amp) surge protector will protect your electrical system at both sites.
The only thing you have to watch out for is that you don't try to draw more than 30 amps when you are plugged into a 30 amp site - if you turn on both A/Cs and the microwave you'll probably trip the circuit breaker at the pedestal.
