Most of the 30A campground outlets have bad/loose contacts, causing arcing, carbon buildup and voltage drop. The rig draws more current, more heat, burned plugs and inlets.
Burned terminals on your cord plugs or the trailer, usually caused by plugging into a live outlet or just from over use.
The 50A outlets get much less use and are the most desirable. Use a pigtail and plug your 30A into a 50A outlet. Use a pigtail, not one of the adapters that look like a hockey puck. Those WILL burn up.
I added a second 30A service to my Outback and built a splitter so I can plug into the 50A side. I also added an additional 20A inlet to run space heaters in the winter without tripping breakers.
