If you have an existing 30 amp 4 wire circuit use it. Put a 50 amp outlet for the 5er to plug in to and go on. You will NOT have 50 amps but you probably don't need that much in a storage situation anyway.
When we went to a 50 amp rig, that is what I did and it works just fine. Use a twin 30 amp breaker so both hots are protected properly. All you loose is some capacity!!
