Going from the old 3 wire dryer type to a new RV type, 50ANeed to know more. Most 3 pin RV cords are only 30 amp 120 volt. Most 50 amp plugs are 220 volt. so you are missing the other leg to make the 220 volts. If you have something like the old 3 prong 220 volt dryer socket, then you need to look at what the ground wire is attached to at the box. and see if the wire is attached to the ground, or neutral bus. and add the other. Post a pic of what you have, and someone more knowledgeable then me will more then likely jump in and help.
