You need 120v for the 30a RV not usual stick house 240v. (Except perhaps for the 50a--I am totally confused about 50a)

Many sad posts on here from those who hired professional electricians who then happily set up 30a/240v pedestals for the RV. Of course this fried the RV appliances. :(

Big lesson is don't trust anybody---after the job is done, use your own multimeter in the new "RV" receptacle to confirm 120v BEFORE you plug in your RV.
