Electricity? Never touch the stuff
I'm hiring an electrician to run a 50 amp line at my daughter's house for my RV. I only need 50amps because I have two A/C units. It's a 30' toy hauler. No W/D hookups. Everything is 110 (I believe). ...

Tell him it is a standard 14-50R 125/250 volt receptacle.
I know what I am talking about.
If the electrical concept is daunting, ignore everything except the above quote from Chris.
Don't worry about having 110-220volts or 120-240volts or 125-250volts, these are all interchangeable linguistically. Hopefully anyone who works in the field knows that if you say 110 volts it's really 120 volts.
If you spec a 14-50R 125/250 volt receptacle and the electrician mis-wires it or if he installs something else, he is responsible and hopefully has E&O insurance. This is why you hire licensed professional people to do work you don't want to do or do not know how to do.
