As others have stated, the best you could hope for would be 30 Amps on each leg, if there are two independent 30 Amp non-GFCI outlets available. This is far less than the 50 Amps available on each leg of a true 50 Amp RV outlet. You could end up with 30 Amps on one leg and 20 Amps on the other if the 20 Amp outlet is non-GFCI. If the 20 Amp outlet is protected by a GFCI the you should expect that to be tripped by this adapter.

If you really need to get by on just 30 Amp service, then carefully manage your power usage, or run the generator when needed, or invest in an intelligent power-management system.

We have (so far, at least) been able to use 30 Amp service without any problems. If the weather were really hot and multiple air conditioners were required, then that could present problems with 30 Amp service.
