................. Then I have another that reduces from 30 AMP to 120... The plug I would use has a 30 AMP breaker in the house... Is this safe?
I am guessing you mean the additional reducer reduces from 30 amp to 20 amp, or standard house outlet. The standard RV 30 amp is already 120 vac.

The problem I see is that standard house outlets are rated for either 15 or 20 amps. Makes me wonder if someone inappropriately (or inadvertently) installed a 30 amp breaker where it should be a 15 amp or 20 amp breaker. If so, not a safe combination.

If that 30 amp outlet is actually 220 vac then you definitely don't want to use it.
