Plugging 30A 5th wheel into 50A service
Will I have any problems if I plug my 30A fiver into 50A service at a RV park. I will not be drawing any more than 30A, but the park says I should pay $50 deposit to rent a "box" from them.

What he ^^^ said.
However. Put one meter lead in the 3 o'clock hole and the other in 9 o'clock and you will read 240V, there are two hot legs and are opposite phases.
If they were the same phase then you would read zero votes. That is not however how they are wired as it would double the current on the neutral, overloading that single wire.
