Calculating voltage drop
In determining which size wire to use, what load do we enter when calculating voltage drop when adding a 50 amp RV site when the electric service is a 240 volt, 50 amp breaker and RVs technically run ...

50A is 240/120V 4 wire which is used as 2x 50A circuits. 240V appliances are not the norm for a RV. The 2 hot wires and neutral are each rated for 50A which is the maximum. ie You have a total of 100A @ 120V for the 2 circuits or 12KW.
Use 50A load for the wires which are normally 6ga unless long distances are involved.
