My wife and I are at an RV park for the summer and the shore power box does not have a 50a receptacle. The box does have a 30A & 20A (GFI) receptacles. We would like to run both A/C's this summer.

I know that there are Cheater boxes available that provide 30A & 20A plugs terminated in a 50A receptacle. I've also seen Cheater boxes with two 30A plugs.

I've heard that the 20A GFI receptacle will pop if I use one of these cheater boxes.

Has anyone out there had experience with these Cheater boxes?
