Sorry, I read this wrong last night. I have a 20 amp to 30 amp adapter.

fleabay is where I picked the several ones I carry. Just make sure you get one designed to fit your cable end. I believe Marinco and Hubbel use different ways to attach cords and adapter. The plugs are the same but the collars might be different (threaded vs slotted, etc). Even Marinco varies this sometimes with threaded vs the slotted twist-lock variety. It's annoying.

I've carry several adapters, a 50 to 30, 110 wall outlet to 30 and a 30-wye splitter. I only use the wye when I know I'm just going to run one circuit or the other. If I need to run the AC and the rest of the appliances all at once then I make sure to properly use two 30a cords. A 50a to 30a adapter is handy. I've found most 50a sockets always work, as opposed to 30a sockets that are worn out from use. Likewise, carrying a second cable is great when the nearest pedestal is dead and you really don't want to move to another slip...
