I had someone at work ask if ever wired temporary power outlet at home for rv and what is needed. I told them I did for parents and asked if they had 30 or 50 amp - they didn't know so I drew the receptacles and asked which looks like your plug. It was the 50 amp so told them I used 14-50r receptacle, 4 gauge 3 conductor with ground as it was a decent run from main, 240v 50a dpst breaker, ran in conduit and used a waterproof (resistant) box. They tell me I'm crazy the rv is 110v and that won't work. I said yes it uses 110v and that's how I wired it so can use everything in RV.
So enough story and to the question... Is there something special I don't know about the 50a for rv and if so why does the way I wired theirs work fine for my parents if it's wrong? I've always thought that it works just like a house - L1 for one circuit L2 for the other with common neutral.
