Did the electrician install 4 bladed RV plugs?
The RV industry calls that 50 amps
Thing is a 50 amp RV is really 100 amp RV
It's 50 amps per leg, on two legs 120v each
If the electrician installed 50 amp twist lock, that is a 50 amp service, with two legs that are 25 amps each
A RV service will have a double pole 50 amp circuit breaker, 50 amps each leg
Most electricians area not familiar with RV industry nomenclature
You tell them 50 amps they will give 50 amps power,
NOT RV power of two 50 amp legs, which is really 100 amps power
Btw 30 amp RV, use only one 30 amp leg
The misinformation, is entirely the fault of the RV industry
