At a lot of state park sites they give you standard 30 amp plug plus a 20 amp one. Do they sell a pigtail that will feed 30 amps to one leg of my 50 amp plug and 20 to the other so I could run two ACs?

If the 20a is GFI it will not work. In that case you would need to rewire to power the second air seperately with an isolated circuit.

Haven't seen that kind of adapter.

But I'd bet that most 20A receptacles are wired off of the 30A receptacle vs individual wiring runs from main feeder.

Usually I see both the 30A and 20A outlets at the power ped. Not sure if there is an adapter that would be safe for you to use though.

The CW in Las Vegas sold them in the past, don't know if they still do or not. Give CW a call.

Replace it with a non GFI.

Depending on it's wired, if you had what you are talking about, the prongs on the plug not plugged in yet could be hot after you plug the first one in.

So now what happens after you plug the first one in and get distracted ?
