Reason I'm so concerned is because I want to get a 50 amp RV outlet installed at home (I have 2 different 30 amps I put in myself), but this 50 amp is just confusing the stuffings out of me. And yes... I do have the phone number for an electrician that can and will do the work... I'm not tackling this one alone! I'm waiting on weather to get a bit warmer, because everything will be done outside where I have a junction splitter box for house and garage.
Your 50A outlet will require 6/3 gauge wire with ground at a minimum. But since you did your own wiring for the 30A you should have no problem with the 50A. The only difference is the extra hot wire and the double pole breaker. Neutral is still the white wire, and ground is the bare conductor.
