Campers with either 30-amp or 50-amp connections are all going to be 120 volt. The connectors they use can be wired for either 120 volt power or 240 volt power which is why you see several people damage their campers as they try and plug into an outlet in their home that was designed for either a dryer or welder that uses 240 volt power.
