Europe's RV's

in the USA the 'Nomenclature' is single Phase, and three Phase
there is NO 'two phase'
phasing is not the same as voltage difference
USA 240v/120v is single phase same wave form, the voltage is off a center tap at the transformer and there is ONLY ONE secondary winding/output, it is 240v across the winding, the neutral is the center tap it is ONE wave form always the same phase


i won't get into Eurpoean electric service

This is true. Always makes me wonder about people referring to 2 phase. One thing to note is that most 240 volt 50Hz connections in European campgrounds are only 3 amps and generally hidden behind a bush. European RVs come with very long shore cords and when you park, the first thing to do is hunt for the power receptacles.
