If that actually is what you have in your garage, it is intended to provide up to 50 amps of 125V power.
And, if properly installed, the feed circuit would be one hot and one neutral capable of handling 50A plus a ground.
There should be a single 50A breaker which controls this receptacle.
The receptacle would not be able to provide two legs of power at 50A each. Nor could it provide 240V power.
If you want more than 15A going to the trailer, I recommend that you have a licensed electrician install a receptacle which is compatible with your trailer's electrical system.
