    hphock, I have read through this mess twice now. STOP YOU CAN'T PLUG INTO THE OLD HOT TUBE POWER RECEPTACLE. All you have is a potential power source. 

    Instead of all the weird extension cords and multiple adapters just run some appropriate cable from the power  supply (the old hot tub) to where you park your RV. Install this pedestal so you can plug your RV directly into it. Yes get the one with a 50 amp plug so when you upgrade your RV you won't have to do it over.

    I wasn't very clear.  The exterior box was previously wired for 50 amps from our breaker box.  An electrician put in a Home Depot 50 AMP RV outlet since it was already wired for 50 amps from the hot tub.

    I'll get a pic of the outlet.  I like the idea of reconfiguring a 30 AMP cable with a 50 amp male plug, using one HOT, Neutral and ground.  Could I pull the tooth of the HOT not in use?  The cable would stay at home and be wound up sorta like a garden hose on the wall when not in use and not plugged in to the outlet.  

    What we want is to be able to run the fridge a few days prior to get it cool, keep the coach batteries charged, and in the summer, run the AC on low to keep the humidity down.

    See if this would work for you 50 to 30 amp adapter

    They call it a 30 to 50.

    This is NOT a dog bone adapter.

    I would definitely have a surge guard in-line, like the EMS-PT50C or similar.

    What is the difference between the adapter above and this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C8C33YV/ref=crt_ewc_img_dp_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=APF2F3A4Z2HBN

    I was hoping to find a 25 foot cord to go from a 50 amp wall box to my 30 amp RV.  I see dog bones galore but why is there no 25' cable so I don't need the dogbone?  If I were to make one, how might I wire it since the 50 amp has 2 hot, a ground and a neutral and the 30 amp has ground, neutral and only 1 hot wire? 

    I ask as we have an a 50 amp box where our hot tub used to be and its only 20 feet from where we park the RV.
