Please define "correctly". If you mean in the typical dual 50 amp style that is one thing but as was previously stated, for work around the house dual 30 is adequate and can be correct. If you plan on living in it full time in the desert, that is another story.
As ChooChoo man stated:
I ran 10/3 with Gnd myself for my camper. I currently use just 2 legs and using a 30 amp single pole 120v breaker. If I ever get a 50 amp camper, change the breaker and the outlet. Then I have 30 amps 120/240. More than enough for doing work at the house.

By correctly I mean a typical 50 amp circuit that I would find in a CG.Nothing more nothing less.
If OP wants to save or go with something less than install a 30 amp RV circuit and use an adapter.
Installing a Frankenstein 1/2 done 50 amp circuit is creating a problem for someone down the road.
