That's it, I'm going to start with this thread since it is barely sensible because of the use of "plug".
The device that is used to connect a male cord plug to power is called a "receptacle", or sometimes, an "outlet". It is not a "plug". A "plug" describes a male connector, usually at the end of a cord.

Your best choice for connecting your 50 amp RV power cord to a host's house is to use a 50 amp--> 20 amp adaptor. You would then have a GFCI protected circuit and will not have the added liability of any miswiring or insufficient protection from an unknown circuit in the host's house.
