A 50 amp EMS works with 30 amp service.

Yes I have a 50-30 dog bone reducer. I plug into 30 Amp side then plug the 50Amp Ems into the other end which is a 50 plug then plug my campers 50 into the EMS. Works fine.

I do the same thing also and have had no issues so far.

I was able to take out the 30 amp extension cord and the 50 amp cord reaches with no slack. I ran the A/C for about 20 minutes and it was fine. I think taking the cord out of the equation is probably what I needed to do.

I need to pull my camper forward about 3 feet and I'll be fine. I'm going to ask one of the work campers to move my 5th wheel for me. I'll have it ready, all they have to do is back in and move it forward about 3 feet. The campground is building a new area that has more space and less pines. If I can't get one of those spots I probably won't come back.
