Question:

how well would this work in comparison to the 15 amp adapter. Arent you only getting 15 Amps of the 240v circuit?

No, there is no specific amount of amperage associated with a 240 volt circuit. It could be 10, it could be 30, it could be something in between. Regarding Mighty Cord Generator Adapter # A10-G30430VP it is rated for use with 30 amp sockets/plugs associated with RV shore power and, in this case, generators. This is a NEMA L14-30 connector which means it is rated at 30 amps, has a specific prong configuration, and works with a 125/250 volt system. NEMA is the Association of Electrical Equipment and Medical Imaging Manufacturers.
