Question about 30 amp vs 50 amp service

So, assuming I some day get my rv back from the shop and can actually go somewhere in it, I have a question about the electrical. I've had a class C in the past with 30 amp service and it had the typical 30 amp plug. The new class A seems to have the same plug though but has 2 AC units. I was under the impression that 50 amp plugs were different, am I wrong?

  • Does the plug have 3 prongs or 4 prongs. 30 amp has 3. 50 amp has 4.

    And yes, 30 amp is generally not sufficient to run two ACs and the other high current devices.
