More than likely he has 50 amp 220 volts if it is at a house. What will happen is it will destroy everything electrical in his RV if he plugs it in. RV's use 50 amps 120 VAC. It is different.
This is simply not correct- a 50 amp RV hookup *must* be 240 volts, and it *must* be properly wired. The fact that the OP's outlet is 240 volt is no problem, the fact that it is mis-wired is a big problem.
