How many times have we read about a professional electrician who has wired a 30A RV outlet with 220 volts?
I think the OP should have got the message by now - it's 110 volts/single breaker ONLY.
Not hard to do!

This is what a typical camp ground pedestal wiring looks like. In your case only wire up the 30AMP side.

It is wired just like a 120VAC receptacle except you use a RV 30AMP Receptacle and a 30AMP circuit breaker and proper size wiring for 30A service..

All three wires have to be wired just like shown...

It`s wired the same as your standard 15A but with a different receptacle and larger gauge wire (10ga. minimum for a run at less than 75? feet, and 8 ga. for over 75 feet).

Do not run it as 220V!!!!

I ran 150 feet of 8 gauge.. and purchased the RV connector at an RV shop.
30 amp 120 volt A/C....
trailer plugs right in.. No adaptor.

Use a single breaker. 240 will let the smoke out of more than just the converter.

It needs to be 110 or 120 volts a.c. Also use the 30 amp circuit breaker
with 10 gauge wire. I wired one for mine and really like it. If you don't
have a 30 amp. outlet, you can probably run everything except the roof air.

If you run more than 25 feet of wire, you may need to go from
10 gauge to 8 or even 6.

It's a 120v, 30A alternating current hook up, not 240V.
