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...

At home I installed 30A service, even though I will eventually have a class A. However in your situation I would run 50A. Get a box with 50, 30 and 20A connections. Use a 50-30 adapter to your trailer this will leave the other leg free when you want to use the 20A service. More is always better when it comes to electric!
