Google 50 amp to RV 30 amp.
Several places.
Pay attention to the prong count on the 50 amp side. True RV 50 amp outlet is 4 prong. There are several that will work for the 3 prong outlet you have.

Fwiw I made mine. For whatever reason I had a short cable with the rv aide. I just bought the male screen together plug and put it on the cable.
The one @megadesertdiesel showed is super nice...

Be sure you are stepping down to 110 volts. 220 will fry the whole electrical system in your trailer.

This right here! Notice the one posted above says "NOT CONVERT TO 120V"... that gets the connection right but not the voltage. I know people that have adapted their RVs at the SSSS in hopes of getting 50A and fried their shit.
Do you ever plan on running a welder or anything else 240v there? If so, get a step down converter. If not, reconfigure the 240v drop at the panel for 120v and use that adapter listed above.
My old boss had a place at river and he put a 50 amp in for his rv.My camper was 30 amp so i made my own adapter.Also did the same for my house so i can use the drier plug if needed.Got a dryer cord that matched my plug then got a 30 amp rv outlet an electrical box and wired it up but only used one leg of the hot from the dryer,the neutral and ground.
Not hard to do and worked great if i need it.

I don't think the 220 V really matters how you have it wired. The M/H is only to pull from hot to ground which is 110 V. It does not pull from hot leg to hot leg. A camper with a 50 amp plug is really pulling 100 amps total when using both legs. We were at a campground (that my M/H was plugged into). Unhooked the M/H and wired in a 220 V welder to fix something.
