What Adapter Should be Used for Trailer's 50 Amp Plug on 30 Amp Electric Receptacle?
Question:
I just purchased a 50 amp travel trailer. My site has 30 amp service. What size surge protection do I use?.

To connect to a 30 amp receptacle with a trailer that has a 50 amp power plug you can use the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter Plug # A10-3050AVP which is a simple plug with a grooved design allowing for grip. Your other option would be the Power Grip RV Power Cord Adapter # CAM55185 which will perform the same function but has handles to make unplugging each end simple.
I've added links to video reviews of both products for you to take a look at.
