Thinking of "Full Time" with your help
Hello folks. This is my first post so be gentle... I’ve read many posts on different forums on a great deal of issues and hope I’ve learned enough to not ask too many dumb questions. Now there ...

OP, many 40' DP's without a tag axle have very little CCC so for FT you need a tag axle plus it improves the handling.
You can buy adapters for converting older dryer outlets from 3 to 4 but if new enough are now four prong. If you check the voltage between the two hot lugs on a 50 amp RV outlet your will find it's 240V BUT most RV's use it as two 120V circuits. Yes, many electricians have wired a 30 amp RV outlet to 240V resulting in serious damage as they are indeed 120V.
Dennis it's easy to check the voltage by pulling your 50 amp plug out slightly so you can put the leads from your meter on the outside two spades. Report back your findings.
PS: Twenty years ago I installed the electrical service in my CG with 50 amp outlets. I've also run my MH off of a three prong dryer/welder out at my brother's shop. For the purest you can run the ground wire in the 50 amp RV outlet to the round spade of a 120V plug and plug it in an outlet to get a ground connection instead of tying the ground and neutral together.
