The 50A RV plug is 120/240V etc and you can use 120V appliances or 240V appliances. Very few RV have 240V appliances in part because they won't work when adapted to 30A or 20A. And few RVs have a 120/240V gen.
BTW the 120/240V etc circuit is identical to many home appliances that use BOTH 120V and 240V. Think dryers with 120V lights, stoves with lights etc. Not to mention that the home utility service is 120/240V (maybe 200A rating) and your house uses both 120V and 240A stuff. IDENTICAL circuit just diffent amp rating.
