It's possible to wire an RV 50A outlet so the 2 hot legs are in phase and measure 0 between them, but this won't matter unless the RV has any 240VAC appliances.
Is that true? If the two legs are on the same120v phase and the system had a full load, wouldn't the neutral wire have to carry 100 amps? I don't think the wire is rated for that much current.
