Don't plan on ever needing 50amp, as we just bought a new Class C, and neither I or DW care for class As, but who knows what the future holds.

Next question is-this will all be under concrete, so could it lay on top of the ground(the conduit with wire inside)and pour the slab on top of it or should I dig a small trench to put it in. Gary

A. If it's under a building, there is no depth requirement. If it's placed outside under a concrete slab, then the minimum cover is 4 inches Table 300.5 National Electrical Code.
