help with electrical question

[Aka_the_breeze]

I have a 50 amp post at my house that I plug my RV into ... My neighbor is allowing a mutual friend to "store" hid RV there for about 2 months, or until his driveway expansion is completed.

My neighbor has no outlets close to the rear of his house....

Is there such a thing as - -
50amp male to 50 amp AND 15 amp both female ? This way he can plug in and run his fridge before a trip using a HD extension cord, and I can continue to plug in by using my 50 amp plug...

I do not need 50 amp, if using it here, I only run 1 AC and my residential fridge .. nothing else..

How about a 50 amp adaptor that splits the feed into two 30 amp outlets. That way each coach can use up to 30 amps which is plenty and no way to overload.

As long as both RVs are 30 amp then yes.

If you use an adapter to then connect a 50 amp RV the dogbone adapter becomes a fuse.

Tell the friend of a friend that he is welcome to plug into a 15 amp outlet on your friend's house, which means no AC or microwave. If HE wants to bring a splitter of some kind to split the 50 amp power, let HIM provide it. Be sure he is aware that he can't unplug your RV from the 50 amp outlet for longer than it takes to plug in said adapter.

If he's truly only storing the RV and it's only for two months then a 14g extension cord will be fine. No the AC will not work, but should it? I tend to go above and beyond for people. But do you really want to spend the time and money of a double 50 amp adapter for a friend of a neighbor so he can run the AC once, maybe twice in the next two months?

Thanks to all for the advise . .

That is good for battery, lights, furnace, tv, charge small items.

Tell him to run the fridge and water on propane. No air, no microwave.

Fridge on electric should be okay; it's about a 300W element, not an especially heavy current, at least not when compared with a microwave or air conditioner or water heater. (That's for an RV absorption fridge; of course with a residential fridge electric is the only option.)

If you do it like you asked you need to add fuse/breaker from the 50 amp to 15 amp.
By having the friend plug into your RV then that is taken care of in your panel.

Probably the simplest and most foolproof as long as he isn't using any heavy draw items.

This will split into 2 50s, then you can adapt your way down.

Thank You.... I did see that and was not sure if anything else existed ...
