No. On purpose.
To prevent you from plugging in a 110v device into 220.
It really frys stuff doing that.
You would have to make one yourself. HD and lowes sells the ends.

The RV version of 220V 50amp is a little different. None of the appliances run on 220v. The legs are split off to power different 110v zones.

Camping World has the adapters. I run my 50amp fifth wheel on my 110v 20amp all the time. I am very careful not to run too many things at once. You can probably run the Air by itself, but only one. If you have dual air don't try to run both at the same time. I mostly use it for the internal battery charger/converter to keep the 12v batteries charged. I keep the refer on gas and only run 12v lights.

You may need two adapters. One 50 - 30 and one 30 - 20amp.

What kind of trailer? It must be nice to be wired for 50 amp.

I wouldn't do that. I've seen many 20 amp sockets burned up because of people trying to run an AC. The guys that were pitted next to me at pinks in Norwalk kept blowing the breaker we were both on because they kept trying to run the AC.
