^^ What he said. If you already have 50 amp/240 service at the site, there's no need to "downgrade" to 30 amp, 120 service. Just install the appropriate 50 amp RV plug on the current service and use a 30 amp "dogbone" to tap off of the 50 amp plug. That way, you can provide appropriate 30 amp/120 service to your current trailer AND be ready for 50 amp 240 service, should you decide in a few years, to upgrade to a larger RV.

Not to mention that if guests come to visit, you'll have appropriate power for either a 30 amp or a 50 amp RV at the plug.
