Pedestal supply for 1999 Holiday Rambler Endeavor

Am in the process of installing a 50 amp hook up at my home for prepping of my 1999 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. Should this be wired in as a 50 AMP 120/240 volt ac single phase. Is this how the camp ground pedestals are wired up?? Do not have my owners manual and could not find the quick answer thru the web without paying for a manual.

Thanx all.....you always come thru with useful info

    Yes, it's a simple four wire system hooked to a double 50A breaker... two hots and a ground and neutral. Depending on the pedestal you buy, it may have a 30A and 15A GFI 120V outles in addition to the 50A 240V outlet. Do not worry about the 240V as the camper splits it into two 120V as very few RV's use 240V.
    Instead of spending $200+ on something like this


    all you need is something like this on a wood post from HomeDepot for $30.

    The hots go to the outside lugs and you will hear you need to get an electrician to do this complicated and dangerous task. :S
    OP, here is a site with more info... click on 50A on left and it has a table for wire size/distance.
