50 amp pedastal/extension
What size wire should be used for a 50amp RV plug? I have an ample supply of 4AWG, 6AWG and 10AWG but no 8AWG. Is the 4 and 6 overkill? I will be visiting friends later and plan to park in their dr...

EDIT--comment below relates to 30a/120v and does not apply to 50a/240.
Be very careful to stick to 120v and not get mixed up with household 240v. Get lots of sad reports of people hooking up "RV" plug-ins at stick houses that turn out to be 240 and they fry everything in their RVs.
ISTR the 30 amp cord in a 30a RV is made up of #10 wires, but no idea what a 50 amp cord has.
