30 To 50 Amp Service

My wife and I have been looking at fifth wheels lately with the idea of buying one later, just seeing which ones we like. One thing I've noticed is that most of the used trailers have 30 amp service, not many with 50 amp service. 30 amp would probably be adequate for us but would much rather have the capacity of a 50 amp. Has anyone out there ever converted a 30 to a 50? Is it even possible to do? If it is possible, how big of a job is it? Appreciate any info.

Thanks,
Bill
