Can I use a household 50A plug for my 50A RV plug?

NO!

These plugs are different, to help stop this from happening.

It will end badly for you. Not only are the plugs different, the circuit is as well. A 50a-RV has two hots and a neutral. A household 220 does not.

The above article from rvtravel is great, from 2018
