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...

If you want to be able to use your air conditioners then go 50. Even though your rig is 30 amp think of the future and the possibility of getting a 50 amp unit. You never know. If you just want to keep the battery charged then do the 30 amp and you will still be able to use your air and lights anyway. All is dependent on how far away it is and what gage wire used.
