Nothing special about the 50 amp. See the attached document.

I'm not an expert but I believe some applications for 50 AMP require 3 phase but not an RV. If you do a Google search on 50 Amp RV service you'll get more info than your heart desires.
One bit of advice is to make sure you check it before plugging in the coach. My electrician had a loose Neutral wire that the surge protector picked up. Once that was corrected everything was good to go.
If 50 AMP is not possible, the alternative is to go with 30 Amp and a 30 -50 adapter and only run one AC unit. I originally had 30 Amp for my class c and then changed over about 2 months after buying the Challenger. 30 Amp requires smaller wire and a single pole breaker.
I will say that having shore power on the house is well worth the expense.
