Hi;
New trailer (pick up later this week) has 50A service. It would be nice to plug it into a 15A outlet from time to time, just to maintain battery, run fridge, etc. Do they make a 15A male to 50A female adapter? I have a 15 to 30 for the old trailer, but can't seem to find an equivalent. Help?

Where have you looked?

this one has a locking adapter.. not sure what you have.

Or you can piece it together from 50-30-15.

You could use one of these with your 15 to 30 adapter

K-Mart has them. I was looking at them yesterday for the plug. Bright yellow and either $22 or $29

You are going to need a 30M-50F someday anyway. Go ahead and get one and daisy-chain them. The extra loss is negligible.

I have also seen the adapters at Wal-Mart. Home Depot has the adapters in the circuit breaker aisle. No wire as part of the hook up, just a small adapter

Thats how I used to do it but unraveling that 50a cable is such a pain in the butt. So much easier to use a 50-20 adapter and just use a extension cord.
