This might be a stupid question, but is my 30amp rv outlet 110 or 220.

It should be 120 volt. You might check to make sure someone hasn't 'played' with it though, but it was designed to be 120 volts.

Nominally 120-125. 110 is VERY
old standard.

WAIT a Minute Here....

Your 30Amp RV outlet? If you installed it, you should know.
If it is someplace you don't own and have for a while, Please check it.
Someone I know just got bitten by this.

The problem is that there is a non-NEMA receptical known as a TT-30. It has a round ground pin and two angled blades.

Those are supposed to be 120VAC at 30Amps.

Please check it.
