Watch it when saying 240v outlet, for the rv one might be tempt to say 50amp 240v outlet, but in reality it's 50amp, 120v...
It by using both "legs" in the panel it's reduce the copper needs.
Only RV outlet are just for RV, welders dryers and stove, use 240v and have their own outlet.
Just like in your kitchen using the same neutral to the outlet, both receptacle are on different "leg". You can check with your multi meter and see that those outlet have "240v" but not really...
This isn't true. A 50A RV outlet is wired just like a standard dryer outlet. Nothing special about it at all and it is a 120/240V outlet.
You Don't get what I'm trying to point out...
The receptacle and plugs are different for a reason, because of the way it's wired in the RV.
I should have specified that.

It is the exact same receptacle and wiring used for some ranges and for charging electric vehicles. An RV with 50A service is wired exactly like a house, with some circuits on one leg and some on the other, and in some larger rigs using both legs for 240V appliances.
Well I stand corrected. Oups.
I saw and heard mistake where it was wired wrong and sent 240v in the rv appliance...
