Can you be a little more descriptive? R U plugged into 30a shore power and only want to pull 10a? Does a breaker keep tripping above 10a? More details please..

Yep, a little more information about your problem will help.

Of course, if you have appliances wired for 240V residential service, they're not going to work on 120VAC 30 amp RV service.

I agree. I run my 50 amp Intruder on 20 amps most of the winter. So long as I don't draw more than the breaker, no problem

Camping World or any RV store and even some NON RV stores have all the adapters you need

50 amp rig to 30 amp outlet, 50 amp rig to 15 amp outlet
30 amp rig to 15 amp outlet or 30 amp rig to 50 amp outlet

I carry an assortment Including one that's 30 amp rig to 15+15 amp DUPLEX outlet (20 amps total)

Can you re-ask your question in a different way? Or maybe say a little more? I just can't figure anything you might be asking from what you've said... Sorry...

Where do you see you are pulling 10amps? What do you mean "trying to run on 30amp" (what is running what isn't)? What is going wrong? (nothing wrong with a 10amp load if that's all you are using..) etc. etc..
