Attaching 50amp cables with marine connections

I have two 50amp cables where one end is a female marine twist connection and the other end is a standard 50amp male plug. For the life of me I can't find a pigtail or conversion device that would allow me to connect them to each other. I believe that would require a female standard plug on one end and a male twist lock on the other. Any suggestions?

He has a twist lock fitting on his RV, and he has 2 different length cords to use, depending on need, each with a male 50A plug (to plug in to the power source pedestal) and a female twist lock end (to attach to the RV). He would like the ability to use one cord (15'), or the other cord (30'), or both cords together (45'). He needs (and it appears he found) a female 50A plug/male twist lock adapter.:B

Ours arrived last week and the quality is outstanding. It totally solved my problem and I can now string my two power cable together (marine on one end and standard 50amp plug on the other end). Shipping was fast and reasonable.

I own two because the 30' is really heavy so a few years ago, as I got older, I had a 15' one made up which weighs about half as much. I've got a Mexico trip planned where I need a particularly long power cable so I figured it makes more sense to find an adapter than to buy an extension cable.

Yes I understand he owns 2 cords, but how many own 2 twist lock RV cords? Why would you own 2.
Now I get it , you may have 1 from the old RV. Or you own 2 RV's etc etc.
But in the grand scheme of things I question is there a real market for such an adapter? By the way I own 2 cords as well.

What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

AS I ponder ordering one of these adapters myself. I question the logic. A 15' 50 amp extension cord sells for $60 a 25' sells for $115. The adapter sells for $60.00. If you already have the cord I can see the usefulness of the adapter.
However owning 2 twist lock 50 amp RV cords is not very common is it?
Nevertheless the adapter gives you the option to use a twist lock cord as an extension cord.

That's great. Those are the parts I described that simply needed a wire to connect the 2. It's nice to see that someone figured out that such an adapter would have a market.

I amazed/impressed that he found the adapter.
I think the adapter is a viable option. The extra connections can be a concern however it does allow the OP to keep his cords and have the option to use them as extension cords if necessary.
