Question:

I inherited a dogbone and want to confirm it is a 50amp male to 30amp female. The small label says 30a 125V 3750 W Model:50-30-RV STW 10awg/gx3c Just want to make sure this is what I think it is. Thanks in advance

Yes, based on the model number you have listed it most likely is a 50 to 30 amp adapter, but I don't know if that's 50 amp male and 30 amp female without seeing it. 50 amp male connectors will have 4-prongs and 30 amp female connectors will have 3 prong ports with the positive and neutral ports slanted to a point. If you cord looks just like the Camco Power Grip RV Power Cord Adapter w/ Handles - 125V - 30 Amp Female to 50 Amp Male # CAM55175 then it is indeed a 50 amp male to 30 amp female adapter.
