Connecting shore power
I have a 2019 Montana High Country that uses 50-amp shore power. Can I use 30-amp shore power to connect to open my slides? And do I need a special adapter to attach my 50-amp plug to a 30-amp outlet in my garage?

Yes, you can use 30 amp to run nearly everything that you want, except for two ac units at the same time
Yes, you will need an adapter to go from 30amp to 50 amp RV plug
Adapters can be purchased through Amazon or local RV dealer. I also saw them this evening in Tractor Supply.

Also your slides run off the batteries not AC shore power.

BEFORE you connect to that garage 30 amp outlet, make very sure it is not a 240 volt dryer type outlet, or you will do serious damage to the electric system of your rig. The 30 amp RV outlet will have only one 120 volt hotleg, one neutral, and one ground. Typical 30 amp dryer outlets that are three prong outlets will have two hotlegs and a ground.

What Bob said. Click on 30 amp service in the link below.
https://www.myrv.us/electric/
In addition to a 50 to 30 adapter get a 30 to 20 adapter. They come in handy in the event you only have a 15 or 20 amp outlet available. My trailer was always plugged into a 15 amp outlet using adapters while in storage.
