T&T: 30 to 15 amp connector

I think RVs use a different connector than boats.

In any case, despite the description, from the picture I think that
adaptor goes the wrong way for what you want - I assume that it is
shown plugged into the power inlet on an RV, so it will be 30 amp
female to 15 amp male - to allow you to plug the RV into a standard
household outlet.  You need 30 amp male to 15 amp female.
