Question:
I have a new 50 amp service rv, is there one kit that will allow me to hook that to my 30 amp generator or my home 15 amp outlet? Also, I would like a high quality surge protector, are there any that are anti theft? Thanks.

We definitely have some parts you can use for your application but none of them come in an all-inclusive kit.
For a 50A to 30A service I recommend the Mighty Cord # A10-3050FHVP.
For a 50A to 15A service I recommend the Mighty Cord # A10-1550.
Please note when you are pulling power from pedestals that are rated for less power than your camper you'll need to keep track of how much power you're using so you don't overload the pedestal. I've attached a link to a helpful article about power pedestals and adapters like these for you to reference.
Now when it comes to the surge protector you'll want to go with the Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU27FR. Most surge protectors install in-line with your power wire connectors while this option installs inside your camper and you'll splice your wiring into this which means someone would have to gain access to your storage compartment and disconnect the wiring on this to take it. Hopefully it never gets to this point but if you end up having surges that use of the module you can replace it with part # HU58FR so you don't have to get a whole new unit.
Attached are some videos for you to check out.
