Proper Power Receptacle For Home?
We always kept the TT in storage but now keep it in our side yard. We use the 30a to15a dogbone but we will be having the proper receptacle put in place so we don’t have to bother with extension cord...

All you need is the 50A line and the 50A and 30A receptacles can be run off that. I am not up on the code for that but it may require you to change the receptacles and breakers when you change to a 50A RV.
TT 50A is a 240V/50A 4 wire circuit with two 120V/50A legs, two hot, one neutral one ground.
30A is a 30A/120V 3 wire one hot, one neutral, one ground.
If you plan to eventually go 50A, have the system wired to support both. A 50A/240V 4 wire from the main breaker box feeding the "trailer box". That box will be like what you see in campgrounds with one 50A/240V breaker and usually 2 120V breakers, a 30A feeding a 30A RV outlet a 20A/120V feeding a 20A duplex outlet and a 50A/240V breaker feeding the 50A outlet.
Note: The trailer will use the 50A 240V as TWO 120V/50A circuits, I don't know of any trailer that actually have any 240V appliances, although it would be possible to do.
Just make sure the don't wire the 30A as a 240V circuit!!!

Or just install a 50A circuit and use a 50-30 dogbone, Later if you decide you want a 30A outlet it can be added
Don't start with 30A, you'll basically redo everything going to 50A.
