For 30amp Trailer, install 30 or 50amp service to pole?

Hello All, I've got electric at a private camping area and need to add service for a 30amp plug for a new 30amp travel Trailer. I heard it better to put in a 50amp outlet in and then use a 30-50am...

To further complicate your decision, you can power the 50A recep with two 30A breakers to save $ on wire size.

It’s very hard to use 30A per leg with a 50A RV.

I’ve got my house RV outlet wired that way.

You can run both ACs, fridge, hwh and microwave just fine.
