Wire for 50A 220V Service - 110' run

Thanks, Dick. You get a free pass on raids for another year.
My son-in-law is an electrical engineer. He helped me re-wire my house recently, all the way from the pole to the 200amp breaker box inside. I've asked him about his before and his recommendation was quite similar to yours. I"ll have him take another look at the existing wiring, discuss the various options recommended here and then probably ignore him again. ;-) Actually, I rely on him heavily when it comes this type of job.
Incidentally, I will be in NE Washington in June, planning on spending the night of June 11th at the military Fam Camp just off the Interstate. Maybe we can get together and invent some lies.
