The 50 amp side of the Power Grip Generator 30 Amp to 50 Amp RV Power Cord Adapter # CAM55412 does match the 50 amp requirements of your RV. The standard 120 volts on each pin for a total of 240 is correct. The RV may then reduce the voltage down for some appliances but at the plugs and sockets the 50 amp setup is 240 volt.
