Only comment is that it will be hard to have a dual ganged breaker to provide the simultaneous disconnect I believe is required by code.
Unless that bothers you I'd say go for it!
What?? Home depot, lowes, ace they all have two pole 50 amp breakers on the shelf. OK, I'm losing it! I thought I was responding to the thread where the OP was proposing to run two separate 20A supplies from neighboring houses and combine them in a 50A outlet.
Can't find it now so I guess I was dreaming!
But you're right as far as finding a double 50A breaker - they're everywhere!

Unless Rip Van Winkle here fell asleep for a few decades the last time I checked a THREE PRONG (Two With A Ground) is L1, EARTH GROUND, L2. Stoves with three prongs plus a fourth have neutral for lamps, fans, ignitors, etc.
Also help me rhonda --- do not makeup plugs and sockets still have pin orientation markings on the hookup (wire) side? Like L & L & N, and a green tinted terminal for earth ground? Or, is this stuff coming from China now?
Actually the old 240 volt 3 prong plugs and outlets were 2 hots and a neutral. The code changed with the 1999 NEC to the 4 prong outlet and plug which added a ground. Easy mistake since the ground and neutral are tied to the same bus bar in the main box.

Well I guess old Rip fell asleep for a couple of decades. The RV 4 prong 50 amp plug is wired the same as a stove (stick house) 4 prong 50 amp plug!!!
