sounds like you are on the right track, just remember that you will need to be able to turn the power off to connect and disconnect....sounds like the outlet will be below the panel...so that should make it easy.
Ohhhh, I *had* forgotten about that. Yes, easy enough to just post a big placard that says "STOP! Flip breaker off before plugging/unplugging!" ....
It would be kind of nice though if there was a drop-down cover at acted like a switch. Lift the cover to insert- power cut. Lower cover, power on. Lift cover to remove plug, power cut.
But until then, a big red stop sign placard hanging on the breaker box should be fine. My kids would probably love to make it for me, too. :)

HomeDepot has a box with 50 amp plug, 120V gfci plug, & breaker ( use for cutoff ) for &120 or a box with 50/30 rv plugs & gfci plus breaker for more.. I was going to use one of thsse when I built our RV shed but was able to get my main panel within 7 ft of my plug. I was having to work my buried feeder around existing septic system and got lucky .
