My trailer has a 50 amp connection and cord. I believe the sticker above the twist-on connection says I am rated for 50 amp 110V OR 220V. Do I understand that correctly that I can plug into 220V 50 amp, should I ever need to?

Besides what previously posted, I insert, then remove and reinsert the plug several times to help clean any oxide buildup on the connections because you usually don't know whether the outlet was used last night or last year.

All 50 amp receptacles at the pedestal are 220V. There are two 110V circuits measured from each hot to neutral. It is 220V measured from hot to hot.

There are plenty of old appliance standard 3 wire 50 amp circuits out there. Don't use those. But 4 wire 220/110 50amp is what you need. 2 hots a netural and a ground all matched up from one end to the other and you are good to go.

Anytime I am in doubt I run on 30 amps through an adapter. The only risk in 30 amp 110 circuit is low voltage and I can check that. That is why my 50 to 30 amp adapter plug is my go-to device if I can't/don't trust the 50amp circuit.
