I'd probably just go ahead and run the 50A plug and get one of the short 50 to 30 adapters or 50 to twin 30 adapters thus providing a power outlet should you need to run something like a welder.

    More expensive up front, but having that 50A double 30 splitter opens you up in campgrounds that have low power on one leg of the system. Someone here has a 30A unit and has ran the camper off the splitter to get clean power from the other leg in the pedestal b/c the 30 was browning out.
    Joseph. I already have one of those 50A to twin 30A adapters and have used it. Each 30 plug is powered off a different leg so with my Progressive EMS I can see which is better.

    However I was wanting the plug covered by the enclosure, otherwise the snow and rain can get into the connection. Right now I run it under the garage door and use a short extension cord withe an adapter.

      Could you use something like https://www.amazon.com/Weatherproof-...82fcd0cad887c2

      The other option is to sacrifice a cord and wire a 50a plug on the end.
