Being I might as well be living on Mars, I have no idea of how common 50-ampere 4 wire service is up there. Is it almost universal in developed RV parks? More common in the more affluent regions in the US?
Myself I sure would want to see voltage numbers between L1 & L0 and L2 and L0 before allowing the voltage into the rig. A weatherproof double gauge set n the outside near the shore power cord inlet?
There are still a significant number of 30A GGs which tend to be older with lower summer voltage due to all of the A/Cs running.
50A power protectors like the PI HW50C are common and protect the rig from faulty power, high/low voltage, reverse polarity, etc. Either won't connect or will disconnect. I had a case of 160V in the middle of the night and while the power was disconnected I couldn't get unplugged fast enough.
