I can run my 15k A/C on a 20 amp house breaker but it will trip a 15 amp breaker.
The 240V input circuit is divided in your trailer to two 30 amp circuits on two legs, this is by design so the breaker in the trailer trips before you overload the circuit. Using a 50 to 30 adapter only means you have 30amps to work with instead of 50amps. you can play the math anyway you like but bottom line is you have 60amps to work with.
