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...

Probably would work OK but that 30A receptacle is connected to one side (or leg) of the 50A. So it's possible both rigs would be running off the same side of 50.
The 20A recept is connected to the other side of the 50A.


True. I was thinking more along the liens of 2 30-A rigs with one of these: clicky
