I’m a quick learner, but first, I have to know what to learn…
The site for my 1st trip is marked as a 50 amp site.
My PuP has a 30 amp plug and cord standard.
I was told we could hook up to either by someone. Now I’m beginning to wonder what that means. 
Will this be a problem? Will I need a 50 amp converter? What else do I need to know? Do I have to change sites?
(Some sites mention both 30 and 50 amp – This one only mentions 50 and the park is full)
I looked through the forum for the answer before posting. I am so new at this that most of the terminology is over my head!!! 
Please, in very simple terms, help me out here…
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Most likely the park pedestal will also have a 30-amp connection. If not, then a simple 50-amp to 30-amp pigtail (about $20.00) is all you need, available at any RV store.

Most 50 amp pedistals will have both 30 and 50. I bought one of those pigtails thinking I was going to need it for a 50 amp site and turns out it had both. I have never actully used the thing. But at least I have it.

I picked up a 50-30 pigtail a couple years ago. Only used it once, but I was sure glad I had it that ONE time! It never hurts to have one handy. They take up virtually no space, so why not be prepared?

That is why I never take it out of the back compartment. It sits there and waits for the day I need it.

We seem to use our 50 - 30 pigtail at least once every trip on our 30 amp rig.
