I carry a 30 amp adapter such as the "Big Guys" use.  My 15 amp
extension cord plugs into the adapter and the adapter plugs into the
campground's service box.  They cost less than $6.00 at both RV and
hardware stores.

Also, if you're going to use the city water connection, I highly
recommend a pressure regulator.  They are available in brass or plastic
(brass costing a little more, of course) and can be found where RV and
camping supplies are sold ... even Wal*Mart.
