I'm trying to plug into a house with 50 amp plug. Thanks
I hope this is a 50 amp plug wired for an RV and not a 50 amp dryer plug.
A 50A four wire range socket is exactly the same as a 50A RV socket. They're both standard NEMA 14-50 connectors. If it's an older three wire socket, they're physically incompatible since the socket has fewer connections than the plug.
Electric dryer circuits are usually 30A circuits. The main problem for RV sockets being mistaken/miswired are with 30A RV connections, which are superficially similar to the older 3 wire 30A dryer connections but wired quite differently, with 120V rather than 240V service.
