Your house 50 amp is different than an RV 50 amp. Your house runs two hot leads and a ground while the RV runs two hots, a neutral, and a ground. What an RV circuit actually is is two 120 volt separate circuits. Nothing in your RV requires the 240 volts your house delivers. You RV only needs 120 volts. Your RV fuse box will be divided into two separate 110 circuits.

Interesting last 50 amp house circuit I ran for an electric range had two hot legs, a neutral and a ground. An RV circuit is no different.as stated by the OP he has 240 across the two hots. I would be checking the RV to see what would cause the GFIC to trip.
As to an RV only having 120 available also not 100% true, my Cheap Heat uses 240 volts on a 30 amp sub panel that is tapped into the inbound 50 amp feed.
