I just bought a new 5th wheel, haven't taken delivery yet, but was told that i have 50 amp service/cord. This raises three questions.

1) Does this automatically mean that i have 220V or can I have a 50 amp 110V system?

2) I understand that many campsites don't offer 50 amp connections. So should I buy a 30 amp to 50 amp jumper and just not run multiple large loads simultaneously?

3) If I do buy a jumper, do I need the "marine" connection, which I think my cord is, for $80, or the jumper cord, which is about $20?

Any help would be appreciated.
