Electricity? Never touch the stuff
I'm hiring an electrician to run a 50 amp line at my daughter's house for my RV. I only need 50amps because I have two A/C units. It's a 30' toy hauler. No W/D hookups. Everything is 110 (I believe). ...

Before you have this done make sure the electrician knows what you need. It is not a normal 220V circut it is two 110V.
There have been several posts with pictures on this issue. If you install the wrong one it can cause severe damage to you rig.
Cough, cough. Literally EVERY 4 wire 240v circuit is made up of two 120v circuits. You only get 240v if you use both hot wires instead of a hot and the neutral.
You are obviously thinking of a 3 wire dryer outlet. That has two hot wires and a ground wire, but no neutral. That is what destroys many 30 amp RV's. An electrician sees the big 30 amp outlet and assumes it is a 240v dryer outlet.
If there are 4 wires to the outlet, you are good.
