No different than buying POS Chicom tires instead of quality US made for a bit more.
so you are considering to only put in what is necessary and saving some money is comparable to buying inadequate tires? nonsense.
actually if I were doing it, I would just run 10/3 wg to a 30 amp breaker and just leaving one wire as a spare. then if it ever was needed I could easily add one breaker and have dual 30 amp service, which is adequate for everything. we are just talking about occasional use pre trip, etc. and not living in the desert 24-7-365/

Everyone can do what they want to do as far as I'm concerned, but to answer Bumpy's question "what's the difference in cost?" The answer is $53.06 retail.
Am I going to spend $50,000 for an RV and then cheap myself out about $53.06? I doubt it, but to each their own.
And no Bumpy, I'm not trying to start a $*$#$ contest, but often times doing the whole job doesn't cost much more than doing 1/2 the job. I'm not soliciting electrical work either!!

The labor is the same there is a small increase for wire cost and receptacle.
You don't know what the future holds and ya may as well have what you need to run the whole boat!
I agree with Bumpyroad..30amp box is plenty, chances are you will need another extension cord from your rv to reach the box in your garage and 30amp cords are much less expensive than 50amp cords!

If you have laundry in the garage it is often 20 amp dedicated circuit.

While I've seen lots of 50 amp parks there is always a 30amp plug, if you plug something rated at 30amps into a circuit protected by a 50amp breaker it's like plugging a 15 amp hair dryer into a 30 amp protected circuit, all's well until you need the CB to trip.

at home I'm always plugging a 2-3-or 4 amp device into a 15-20 amp circuit.
