....aaaaaand the bad advice just keeps coming....it's 2 poles, plus a neutral and a ground, just like every other 50a circuit.
Glad the OP was able to complete the job properly! It would be more helpful for folks to simply suggest "hire a professional", rather than stating a bunch of incorrect info and then saying "I don't know what I'm talking about so you better hire a professional."
Yes sir including your post.
The 50A RV circuit is indeed 3 pole, hot, hot AND neutral plus ground just like every other 120/240V circuits.
It is analogous to the early 2 prong 2 pole household plug. Later the third ground prong was added for safety.
