Installing a 120V-30amps outlet
I want to install a 120v-30amp RV receptacle on the outside wall of my vinyl covered garage. I've read on how to wire it, and understand that well. I would like to know what kind of weather proof box...

I saw that you read "how to do it" but here's a tip. Check voltages at the main breaker box from line 1 to neutral then line 2 to neutral. Select the line with the greater voltage. In a straight line, if the distance from the breaker to your outlet (receptacle) is greater than 40' I would consider using only 8AWG wire, absolutely nothing smaller (meaning no higher number gauge wire).
With breaker OFF, smear dialectric silicone grease on outlet terminals if you live where humidity gets 60& or higher.
