Power adapter

I have a 30 amp power cord for my 13' Scamp. What should I buy to be able to plug into a 50 amp power pole?

Or something equivalent.  But be advised that 95% of the time (+/-), at 50 amp pedestals there is also a 30 amp outlet, or at least a 15 where you can use you 30 to 15 adapter. I have a 50 to 30 adapter but never have used it. If you want to run A/C then you would want the 30 amp, or 50 to 30 adapter in most cases, otherwise a 15 amp is usually plenty.

30 amp 50 amp

ANSWER: Hi  if you are talking about plugging your 30 Amp RV into a 50 Amp plug at an RV campground, then yes you can safely do it. All you need is a 30 Amp To 50 Amp Adaptor which has a 120 volt 50 Amp male end and a 120 volt 30 Amp female end.

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you for all your help. I found a 30A female to 50A male at Walmart.
