50amp on RV, how to plug in at home?
I have a 50amp Wildcat, just pulled into driveway for first time. Was going to sleep in tonight with boys, but the AC keeps breaking the house breaker. I have the 50amp plugged into 3 prong dog bone...

Exactly what I have said before!
No different than buying POS Chicom tires instead of quality US made for a bit more.
so you are considering to only put in what is necessary and saving some money is comparable to buying inadequate tires? nonsense.
actually if I were doing it, I would just run 10/3 wg to a 30 amp breaker and just leaving one wire as a spare. then if it ever was needed I could easily add one breaker and have dual 30 amp service, which is adequate for everything. we are just talking about occasional use pre trip, etc. and not living in the desert 24-7-365/

Yes IMHO it's better to go the extra mile if it's not much more than to wish I had done it later.
30 or 50A breaker is not much difference nor is it going to break the bank going from 30 to 50A wire. Labor is basically the same.
If you have the setup already. In our case, our box is not setup for an additional breaker, plus a separate one would have to be added to support the 50amp, so it would cost us over $2K to add it. We are not electricians so we have to rely on professional service.
Peanut breakers are cheap. So there is your solution. Make some space for the 50.
