Not as many miss-wiring issues with 30A in CGs vs what can happen with 50A.
The 50A plug is a standard household plug.
But any plug can be miswired
Noted the 'bold print'.......
Also note the rest of my post:
Disclaimer:
30A outlet at a friends place (or even your own if not properly wired) could be wired for 240V (2 hots/1 common). That is due to 30A household being typically wired for dryers/air compressors vs an RV.
Electricians have been know to mess that up.
