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...

Don't screw around. Install something similar to the RVU75C listed on rvpoweroutlet.com. Where you buy it does not matter to me I am just using them for an example. If you do it this way you will be set for any future upgrade you may make. Since the box is wired inside all you have to do is run your 6 or 8/3 NM from a 50 or 60A breaker in your main panel, mount your box and plug in. It is quick easy and you will be happier in the long run.

/\ The circuit breaker at the box is important for saving your plug. You should use the circuit breaker to disconnect before removing the plug, and turn it off before plugging in, then turn the circuit breaker on. Circuit breaker points are designed for it, your plug prongs and female terminal are not, and will get burned over time, connecting and disconnecting to a hot circuit. Let the circuit breaker points bear the load.
