Having a 50 amp service is a luxury compared to having only 30 amps available. With 50 you are able to run more accessories than with 30 (i.e. the A/C and Microwave while watching TV and doing laundry). While having only 30 amps you will need to be more power conscience limiting the things you can run concurrent.

I do understand that many parks only offer 30 amps and using a 50 to 30 adapter is safe because you can only use 30 amps thru the system which is sized with wiring to handle 50 amps. You won't be taxing your 50 amp system by stepping down to 30.

While I'm not familiar with Trailers and their appliances and power consumption, I do know that you will look for 50 amp service and enjoy the added convenience that it offers. 20 more amps go a long way in the summer when you don't want to shut down the a/c just to dry your hair and nuke some bacon........

Good Luck
