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...

"It's really amazing how people will stop just short of having what they want/need! And it's usually mot much more$$$."
Amen! About a month ago, I took out the 30amp circuit I used for my old trailer and put in 50amp circuit because I want the ability to run A/C, water heater, refrig, etc. when it is here. The main expense was the 65-ft of 6/4 wire at $3.27/ft. A double throw 50amp breaker, one 50 amp RV Service box from Lowes (has the plug and is pre-wired), a 6-ft piece of PVC(elec), and a couple PVC fittings is all that was required. (Plus the know how) $320.xx and everything in the RV works.
Like someone else said, if you must hire an electrician; then acquire the materials, partially do the work and have the electrician make the final hookup. Don't forget to get your permits if that is required where you are.
