50 amp RV service is really two separate 120 volt, 25 amp circuits, as I understand it. This would suggest you only need a tester capable of drawing 25 amps. 25 amps at 120 volts is 3,000 watts. So get two 1500 watt heaters (probably run you $15-$20 at Wallys -- or heck, you probably have a couple laying around already, as that is the "standard" small space heater wattage). Plug 'em in together on one branch of the circuit, then the other, and if the circuits both support the heaters going full blast for, oh, say, one minute, you got 50 amp service.
