Can an RV with 50 amp Power Be Used with 30 amp Power Source

Question:

I previously asked this question - I am getting a 2018 Wildcat 262RGX with 50 amp service. I am going to purchase a 50 amp surge protector. It is my understanding that I can get an adapter so that I can use the 50 amp surge protector with 30 amp service. However, I am confused. The adapters I see are 30/50 or 50/30. Which one would I need? Per the answer I received, I purchased the below: Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer Dogbone - 125V - 50 Amp # CAM55313 Power Grip RV Power Maximizer - 50 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male and 30 Amp Male # CAM55025. My question now is this - My trailer is 50 amps. Can I plug into a 30 amp receptacle in a campground and have my trailer fully powered? I went camping this weekend and was unable to run my a/c and when I am home and plugged in my outlets do not work. Is there an adapter I can put on my surge protector so that I can plug into my garage power? Any suggestions?

We have the part # A10-G30450VP which is a 50 amp female socket to 30 amp male connector.

OK now for the bad news, in most cases when your 50 amp RV is plugged into 30 amp shore power you will have some limitations on how many appliances you can run at one time. If your RV is equipped with 2 Air Conditioners, you may only be able to run one Air Conditioner unit at a time. If you try to use both AC units at the same time you may pop the shore powers 30 amp circuit breaker.
