There are both 50 (in) to 30(out) and 30 (in) to 50(out) dog bone adapters. The latter are for 50A RV's to use an older 30A pedestal. Some campgrounds don't allow those because they tend to overload the older campground electrical systems, even if an individual RV doesn't actually trip the 30A breaker in that pedestal 

The point is to be sure you know exactly what is being excluded from use.

That wasn't there the last time I looked. It sounds like somebody has been paying attention. I think I will have one of these on order soon to assemble a proper 50A to 30A dogbone.

The one campground we stayed at in West Yellowstone provided a 50-30A dogbone for us to use while we were there. When we were down in Florida recently, the campground sent a worker out to remove the 50A outlet and install a 30A outlet. The box accepted a modular connection that had the receptacle  and breaker mounted on a plate that plugged into a bus bar in the box. I liked that solution. However, if needed, I would be okay with using a 50-30A dogbone temporarily again if needed. If there were a dogbone with a 30A breaker built-in, I would purchase one. I'm not ready to compromise on a 20A breaker.

So, leaving out the dinosaur killer type, it seems like maybe the most dangerous ones are meteors after all. The Tunguska one, the one that exploded in Russia in 2013 that injured 1200 ppl, and the one that exploded over China in 1490 killing 10,000 plus, were all meteors when they exploded in the atmosphere. Not much if anything reached the ground.

According to NASA, when they're in space, they're called meteoroids. Meteors can only be encountered in the upper atmosphere.

The odds for issues go down the less you have to use the dogbone. If it's only used once in a blue moon, it's probably not worth worrying about. If you find yourself using it often, you might want to consider rigging up an inline breaker box.]]> Tue, 04 Feb 2020 12:00:31 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13365&PID=129121#129121 50amp to 30 amp dog bone : Originally posted by Pod_Geek Originally... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13365&PID=129094#129094 Author: offgrid

Its not a big hardship for me not to use one though. I very rarely camp where there is electricity. I certainly can see why those who do camp with hookups feel its a necessity. 

I might make up a current protected dog bone now though, as it looks like it can be done for about $35. If I do I'll report it here. 

I stand corrected about meteors vs meteorites. Embarrassed
