Found the below quote from very old post (2012) when I was looking at options for a 50 amp extension cord.
Wondering just what this "cheater box" consists of?
I also saw that some folks-- due to weight considerations-- carry a 30 amp extension even though their RV is 50 amp. I do see the merit in that approach given the few times the extra length might be needed, using 30 amp service would not be that big a sacrifice.

I carry a 15 ft 50A extension, two 30A extensions (one 10 ft and one 25ft), a "cheater box" to connect to any combination of 30 and 15 amp outlets, several different outlet adapters, and a 10 gauge 15A extension as well. If it has power and is in the same county as I am, I can usually figure a way to hook up to it!
