If your RV is 30 amps, you’ll require a 30a female to 15a male adapter (which tends to run around $10 to $20). A 50 amp RV, on the other hand, will need a 50a female to 30a male, which can then be connected to a 30a female to 15a male.

What RV power adapters do I need?

For a 50-amp RV, you’ll want to carry two adapters: a 50A-down-to-30A (to connect at sites that only have a 30A outlet, or only 30- and 15-amp outlets, which is very common) and a 30A-down-to-15A adapter.
