The question is, since we may at times be connecting to 30 amp service at a campground would we use the 30 amp or 50 amp surge protector for the new 50 amp system?

As others have said, you need a 50amp surge protector. Then use your 50 to 30amp adapter if you have to use a 30amp outlet.
With that said, your TRC choice is not the best. Too many reports of Fire and only a 1 year warranty.
Progressive Industries with EMS is the best on the market with a Lifetime warranty. The EMS feature not only protects against surges but also monitors for mis-wiring, low and high voltage limits and correct frequency.
Good Surge Protectors are truly a "you get what you pay for" item.
