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...

#6 would be appropriate for the hot wires. You could use #6 for the neutral or drop down to a #8. You only need a #10 for the ground.

Electric household dryers do operate on #10 wire on a 30 amp circuit. Electric ranges are not #10, they are often run with #8 on a 40 amp breaker or #6 on a 50 amp.
