time2roll: Your picture is my plug. I didn't realize the metal insert was the ground. Thank you. So the cord has a 50 amp plug on each end. Sorry, but posting pictures is above my posting skills.

Bobbo: Is your answer still "Yes"? Thanks again to all who replied.

JBarca, are you saying there are 2 A/C breakers (both turned on) but only one A/C unit?
Sounds like someone could get electrocuted.

I also think you meant a 30 to 50 amp adapter. Putting a jumper between to 2 hots on a 50 to 30 amp adapter would create a major issue.


There may be a play on words, yes, there is only one AC unit on the camper. Yes, there are 2 circuit breakers for 2 AC units as shown on the power panel tags, and yes both are flipped on.

And while they may have run the wire through the camper for a second AC to later add a 2nd AC, that does not mean the wire is connected to the breaker. Keystone made the camper, why they did not label the 20 amp breakers as living area AC, and the other, a future Bedroom AC , I have no idea.

To the 30 to 50 amp adapter, I was referring to a 30 amp male plug on one end and a 50 amp receptacle on the other end, which has the jumper between the 2 hot wires on the 50 amp receptacle end to the one 30 amp hot wire.

This is what Camco calls the 30amp to 50 amp, it is just they do list it as 30M to 50F with the male and female called out. https://www.camco.net/adapters-dogbones/........af-dogbone-adapter-125v-3750w-cetl-55183

Re-reading what I posted, while I did call out that the 50 amp end receptacle has the jumper, I may have mixed up the 50 to 30 generic wording. Thanks for pointing that out. I will correct the post to make it more clear. Not sure how you assumed the other way around, but I can see it now being miss read that way. I'll fix it. Thanks


Roflmao. You are very helpful but being a try hard sometimes. This is one of those times.
