50amp to 30amp adapter question

Our new sprinter 311 is prewired for 50 amp service it that cord is a beast. I have 2 30amp cords and was wondering if it was a good idea to take out the 50 amp cord and just use the 30's. we only have one a/c so 30 is plenty. Also what adapter would I use off the camper??

This is what we use when we want to use just 30 amp, there is all diff. brands out there, so you can shop around.

I bought the same adapter plus a 25' 30 amp extension with the standard RV 3 prong connectors. It's a lot lighter in weight than the 50 amp cable. We only have a single A/C so 30 amp service is really all we need anyway.

When we dry camp with the Honda eu2000i generator, I don't even use the 30 amp extension. I have a heavy duty 100' contractors extension cord that I connect up to the dog bone adapter. It's even lighter in weight and I can place the generator where it can barely be heard by anyone. We don't use the A/C at all when dry camping up here in the Adirondacks so 15 amp service is all that is required with the generator.

The 50 amp cable stays in the storage compartment. I've yet to use it.
