50 Amp Service
In looking at 5er's on RVTrader, most seem to be 30 amp service. Is this standard or is 50 amp available on very many?

Think of it this way.
What is the standard motor on a car?
A small car may likely have a standard 4 cylinder motor with a 6 cylinder option.
A medium car may likely have a standard 6 cylinder motor with an 8 cylinder option.
A large car or truck will likely have a standard 8 cylinder motor and may not offer anything else.
The point is "Standard" will be dictated by the size of the rig.
Older rigs (might be what you are viewing) may have not needed more than 30 amps. 50 amp service (to me) didn't become popular until the early/mid 1990's. There are reasons for offering 30 and 50 amp service.
You should focus on getting the rig you want and "assume" it is wired appropriately for the need. If you plan to modify the rig by adding a 2nd A/C unit there are other options than jumping to a 50 amp service that are more economical.
