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...

Are you trying to say you ran a 4 wire, 120/240v circuit to a box, and put a 30 amp RV on one leg and other outlets on the other leg? Because, if so, merely saying you have a 30 amp RV service does not convey that information. As a matter of fact, the phrase "30 amp RV service" strongly implies a 3 wire, 120v installation, not having 2 legs.
I do believe that's what he is saying, but He ran a three wire, you don't count the ground. normal house is two wire, 240V is three wire, I know it's weird ha-ha
No.
I use a 'break out box' that has a 50 male plug, and a 30 amp female on one leg and twin 20 amp female on the other leg. Each outlet has its own breaker.
I do have a total of 3 shore power cords. The OEM 30, a 20, and a 15. I used them during extreme heat and extreme cold.
I used to do "double conversion" when there was only a 15 amp shore power outlet. I plugged in only the converter to shore power, and then plugged in the OEM shore power cord into a 2500 watt Cobra inverter (rated for use with electric motors).
