Wire up 220V dryer in 5th wheel?
We would like to buy a Whirlpool laundry center for our 5th wheel. It is 220V and fits into the space allocated.. Can I just tap into the RVs 50 amp load center with a 220V CB and run wiring to a 220V...

You should use equal or larger wire between load center and sub panel as in shore cord. You never want wire with less capacity than the breaker protecting it. For economy and ease of routing wire,I would locate sub as close to load center as possiable.
From load center to sub is wire same or larger than shore cord. Sub is fused to match dryer and wire from sub to dryer matchs breaker. Some of that is mute if dryer pulls max shore cord is rated for.
