Is it safe and/ or ok to step down 50 amp to 30 amp, then 30 amp to 20 amp110/120 volt using adapters? I want to run a space heater in my trailer, but not pull amps thru the trailer . Plant to use a separate extension cord for the heater.

And about where is it going to be on the XL? Pretty sure its on the driver side but wondering about how far back from the front door? Just trying to build in my 50amp circuit in the garage. Thanks in Advance
