Suggestions for RV panel install, long run
Greetings, everyone! I tried a forum search but could not find what I wanted. I recently purchased my 1st trailer and joined this group. I'd like to set up RV hookup on my sister's property in the ...

The smaller wires look like #8 or #6, and go a couple of feet to a small breakered panel that feeds a well pump.
WIRE SIZE: I don't know the sizes of the bigger wires. My thought was to use double mechanical lugs, one side for the bigger wire, the other side for the RV wire and the well pump wire. COULD have combined the well pump and RV into one larger panel, but..... this seemed better.
FUSE SIZE: Don't know the fuse sizes, can't read the labels without pulling them. A good bit thicker than the 100-amps I saw at the hardware store.
#10 GREEN WIRE: There is a #10 green in the conduit from the main disconnect to the RV panel, not sure what if anything to do with it.
I have an 8' ground rod hammered in close to the RV panel, and the clamps for it. Actually, I bought a 2nd rod, in case it made sense to pound that in a few feet away.
There is a ground bus in the RV panel, behind the receptacles. The #10 green wire is rolled up in there.
Meter base neutral and ground are not isolated.
Where would the #10 green go in the disconnect? Then it just goes in and out of the meter base, into the RV panel, and secured to the ground bus.
Or is it okay to not use the #10 green, and ground using bare copper to 2 ground rods?
