Question on wire size for 30a
I need to install a 30a RV outlet on the side of our house for our trailer. I need to go about 60 feet from the panel. Would 10/2 Romex be sufficient, or should I go bigger?

That will yield a 5% drop (to 114 vac) at the receptacle with a 30 amp load. If that is acceptable then 10 gauge is okay.
8 gauge will yield a 2.66% drop to 117 vac
6 gauge will yield a 2.2% drop to 118 vac
