That 50-ft extension is for 240 volts. The biggest thing to remember when installing a 30 amp receptacle is to make sure whoever wires it, sets it up as 120 VOLTS. In most breaker boxes, a single breaker will mean 120. Electricians look at that massive 30 Amp 120 Vold receptacle (even though it says RV, 120 volt, etc. on it) and wire it as 240 using a duplex breaker. Supplies 240 to the RV and that's very bad for the RV's 120 systems and appliances.
