I do have a solution for you with the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter - 50 Amp Twist Lock Female to 30 Amp Male - 12" # A10-3050HDVP adapter, which will plug into your 50amp receptacle with a twist lock female end and provide you with a 30 amp plug on the other. You can then use the Mighty Cord 25' RV Power Cord Extension w/ Handle - 120V - 30 Amp # A10-3025EH to plug into that adapter and to your generator to provide power.
