Has anyone used one of these?
Cheater Box - Cheater box plugs into a 30 amp and 20 amp outlet, and provides 50 amp at the output. Requires two separate circuits and will not operate on a GFCI outlet. 1 year warranty. Model 230-ADTP30.

When we were using a lot of older campgrounds that didn't have the 20-amp GFI receptacles, we used one every time. It won't upset your power, it just gives you more than 30-amps -- theoretically you will have 50 amps. However, it's more like 40 amps. But that's better than 30. There are some people who will say that these units may cause a problem with the RV's circuits but that's not true. If your unit is built for 50 amps you're good to go.
The reason we don't use our unit anymore is because I sold it to someone on this forum for his use the same way did. Also, we no longer visit any of the old county parks that didn't have the GFI receptacles. The newer parks and a lot of the older parks that have upgraded, all have GFI circuits now.
