New owner 50 amp question

Simple answer. Yes the plug you are installing is technically a standard 220 volt plug.
But.
Your coach has 2 entirely separate 110 volt systems. So half of the coach runs on 1 wire. The other half runs on the second wire. This is why you need to balance your load and not pull everything off of 1 wire (or leg)

If you were to put a multi meter across the 2 hot wires on your newly installed plug, it would read 220 volt.
If you were to put the same meter on 1 hot wire and 1 natural wire, it would read 110 volt

Clear as mud.
