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). ...

Yahhhhhhh, the fog thickens!!!
Look people....
There is such a thing as a sine wave. Got it?
When the FuLL sine wave is used it is 240 volts
Draw a horizontal line exactly 50% distance between the sine wave peaks.
That line is NEUTRAL. Connected to the neutral connection on your service drop transformer. Let's call the upper HALF of the sine wave L1 line 1ine one
Let's call the area below the neutral halfway mark L2 Line 2
Nothing in a rig is connected to the top and bottom bumpy lines
Everything is connected from L1 to the neutral OR (read it again) From the bottom half bumpy voltage to the straight neutral line in the center.
Because if you connect one wire from the bumpy top directly to the bumpy bottom and bypass the straight center neutral you'll get 240 volts. Smoke, misery, bankruptcy.
And
NEUTRAL IS NOT NOT NOT earth ground. Go out to your transformer and stare at the THIRD connection that runs from the transformer to your house. It is that line the straight one in the graph.
