I will hire an electrician to run the power and a plumber to hook up the sewer.
A friendly tip, oft discussed here on the forums. Just because you hire a presumably certified "electrician" don't assume he / she knows anything about wiring 50 amp RV service. I know, hard to believe, but the reality is a frightening number of electricians don't understand the differences, so it's up to you to make sure this person is actually installing what you're asking for.
Interesting timing, since I have an electician coming to hook up a 50 amp outlet in my garage for the TT. What is different, assuming you get the right plug?
Really not an issue when wiring 50A.
Confusion/wrong wiring is done when connecting 30A. 'Electrician' wires the 30A for a 240VAC welder/dryer vs a 120VAC RV
50A is 4 wires (2 hot, 1 neutral, 1 ground)
30A is 3 wires but depending on use (120V vs 240V) which wires
30A 120V RV (1 hot, 1 neutral, 1 ground)
30A 240V welder/dryer (2 hot, 1 neutral)
