I am currious, if my rv were a 50amp system and I plug into a 220V welder or dryer outlet what will I find? What different circuits or equipment would likely be damaged?
Let's assume that this rv is a very late model like a 2012.
I don't have to worry because mine is only a 30amp.
The age of the RV has little to do with the possible results.
If I recall the usage of a 3 wire plug (L1-L2-Gnd) for dryers typically found in basements/garages was updated to a 4 wire requirement about 1986. So your home build date may be a better factor.
The older 30/50 amp 230V dryer receptacles would mate with the 30 amp plug of today and this is where the problems occur.
The only right way to know is measure the voltage at the receptacle.
In the RV, 30 amp are 3 pin and 50 amp are 4 pin. You dont need to discuss 230V when all is wired correctly.
