50 Amp Power

I am purchasing a Franklin 42 foot 5th wheel with 50 amp service and want to connect it to my house power for use locally. I have checked all the posts in this forum I can find and it seems to me that the 50 amp service is 50 amps for each leg of the 240 volt house service. In other words to completely power the 5th wheel I would need 100 amp 120 volt service. NOT 25 amps for each 120 volt leg. But 50 amps for each 120 volt leg. Is this correct?

In other words I can connect the power to my house's 240 volt service with 2 50 amp breakers.

Thank you in advance for any help with this connection.
