Will 30 Amp Adapter for 110V Outlet Trip Breaker

Question:

We have someone that will be plugging a 30 amp RV into a 110V outlet. Will they be able to run all power on the RV or will the breaker trip if they try to run everything? If it will trip, is there a better solution so that everything can be run. We have two 110V outlets available if needed.

Adapters won't give you extra power, but a breaker won't trip so long as you stay within its limits when using an adapter like the Mighty Cord Dogbone RV Power Cord Adapter - 30 Amp Female to 15 Amp Male # A10-1530HVP that plugs into a standard 110V outlet.

They will need to limit their power consumption to that of the breaker, which is likely 20 amps, or it will trip the breaker.
