I find it interesting to note that 551.71 (dealing with the types of receptacles available at RV parks) bears no resemblance to what I've observed at many places I have stayed in my travels. |

Nobody cares about your NEC references.
Conversion cords are safe and are WIDELY used by most everyone some time or another.
The "fire" you cite was not caused by a properly functioning conversion cord. Something else was amiss and would have happened without the conversion cord. If there was a short or arc that caused a fire, the same thing would have occurred with a 50 amp cordset. If a breaker didn't trip to protect everything, there was some loose connection or broken conductors arcing. Again, nothing a bigger wire would have prevented.
