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...

Although there are a lot of responses, I would suggest that you be extremely careful when having an electrician add a 50 AMP outlet at your house to plug your RV into. Many electricians, when they hear 50 AMP will install a house 50 AMP outlet. There is a difference btwn an RV 50 AMP v. House 50 AMP. A house 50 AMP will completely destroy your electronics when you plug in. A couple years ago, our friend had an electrician install a 50 AMP outlet in anticipation of buying a new MH. When they got the unit home, after their initial inspection and walk thru, all the appliances and outlets within the MH were friend when they plugged in. Not realizing the issue, they replaced all the effected items and had everything checked. Unfortunately, they again plugged the MH into the same outlet and got the same results. The RV company then told them to check the outlet and make sure they were wired for an RV 50 AMP v. a 50 AMP house set up. It cost them BIG BUCKS to learn a lesson.
