Just moving the White wire is not good enough. You cannot use the Double Pole, 220V breaker. You must buy a Single Pole, 120V 30amp breaker. $7.00 or so.
As for the "left side, right side". Make sure it is color to color. Meaning Black to Brass, White to Silver, and Bare to Green or Ground bar if the RV box has that. If you don't get the wires on the correct connector your polarity will be wrong and will do damage.
This is a do it yourself job, but since you are new to it and unsure, the best you can do is get that electrician out as you said. Small price to pay to ensure it is correct.

This is a pictorial of the PEDESTAL WIRING at the campgorunds for the 50AMP and 30AMP SERVICE...
This is a TEST PICTORIAL for the 50AMPS and 30AMPS PEDESTAL CONNECTIONS using an AC MULTIMETER. If you cannot dupicate these reading then DO NOT CONNECT your trailer to these circuits...
50AMPS SERVICE at the PEDESTAL
30AMPS SERVICE at the PEDESTAL
This is what using the 30A to 50AMP ADAPTER looks like
This is a close up of the 30A to 50A ADAPTER showing how the HOT 1 ans HOT2 legs are wired together. Using this adapter feeds both zones of your 50AMP trailer but you will be restricted to only 30AMPs of service.... You will have to watch what you have turned on at the same time otherwise it will trip your breaker.
The beauty of having the contractors to do this is they are bonded and when they blow up your appliances for wiring it they way they think it is suppose to be they will replace your burned up items. You doing all of the wirng it will be ALL ON YOU...

Our mh is a 50 amp system. With an adapter, I can use 30 amp with limited capabilities. I am putting a 30 amp receptacle at my home so that I can run our fridge and one ac (total 11 amps). My question is should this receptacle be wired up 110 volts or 220 volts? I am fairly sure it should be 220 but just not 100% sure. Any comments?
