30 amp voltage

This may sound like a dumb question, but here goes anyway.
We are on our way to pick up our new Class C Coachmen Concord. At our home we are having a 30 amp plug put in to replace the 50 amp one we have now. My question is what is the voltage that is needed. Apparently there is 30 amp receptacles with either 125 or 250 voltage. I may have to wait til I get to the dealership to ask them. I did not know that there would be different voltages to chose from.
Thanks,
Janet
Class C

    Your 30A RV uses 120V AC

    No need to replace the 50A with 30A just buy a 50A to 30A adapter.
    Plug it into the 50A outlet and then plug your 30A RV cord into it
    Will only supply one hot leg that your 30A RV uses.

    You nee a NEMA 30TT receptacle. It is 120 volts.
    If you have a 120/240 four wire receptacle already there, why not just get a 50-30 adapter?
