All modern residential construction codes IEEE set the house voltages as 120 volts split phase at the circuit breaker panel (entrance panel). So your normal voltages are 120 volts to the duplex receptacles and lights. High power appliances may require 240 volts to operate efficiently (electric stove, water heater, air conditioners. etc.) 240 volt circuit simply pull 120 volts from each of the two 120 volt circuits using ganged double circuit breakers. So in fact there is no plug differences between you electric stove and your 50 amp RV.
