50 amp service - is RV service wiring the same as others?

Our trailer is wired for 30 amp service. I carry a 50A to 30A dog bone adapter for situattions where only 50A service is available. Next week we will be "camped" next to a utility shed on my cousin'...

I doubt your 50 amp dogbone will plug into your cousin's 50 amp welding plug, but whatever you do, DON'T do it. You will send 220 throughout your coach and fry everything it reaches.
The old 50 amp plugs were 3 prong and were straight 220v. The newer 4 prong 50 amp plugs are 2 110's which will work for your rig.
Make sure you know what you're doing before plugging into that receptacle.
