House hookup
I have a Fuzion Chrome toy hauler what do I need to hookup to my house. I have a four prong plug so I need a 50amp breaker. What type wall socket and romex? Thanks Dave46

30A = hot, neutral & ground. I suppose if you put the neutral on the other phase you could get 240V but why would anyone do that? Put a double-pole breaker in instead of a single pole? I guess if you're paying your 'electrician' with beer, don't pay until the job is done.
Correct JOE
A 30A RV servce is one hot, one neutral, one ground 120V AC
Unfortunately many 30A services are used for 240V AC welders, dryers, electric ranges in the residential world. One that most electricians are familiar with.
So when contracted to wire a 30A service they naturally think 240AC
Two hots and one neutral.
Same number of wires but wrong hooked up for an RV service.
That is where you and the electricians get confused...assuming they know what they do.
Where as 50A is 4 wires ALWAYS
Anyone having a 30A RV service installation should always confirm with a meter that it is wired 120V AC vs 240V AC
Exactly!
