I have seen this at home depot. Why does the link say temporary?

That box is fine year round. Temporary just means you can unplug vs be hardwired.

That is correct. That box will work just fine for your needs.

50 RV outlet
50 Amp Double-pole breaker
(x) Feet of 8 AWG THHN Black Wire
(x) Feet of 8 AWG THHN Red wire
(x) Feet of 8 AWG THHN White wire
(x) Feet of 10 AWG THHN Green wire
Masonry screws

Correction, it's 6 AWG not 8...

#8 THHN is rated up to 50 amps. #8 is fine for his application, especially since there's not distance drop with it being mounted right next to his panel.

And to clarify even further, Annex B of the NEC shows #8 at 43 amps, which makes you technically correct. However, the NEC also states that if there is no breaker at that amperage, such as 43, you can legally go up to the next available size, which is 50 amps, which makes #8 rated for 50 amps.

This is the correct in use exterior box for 50 amp.

50 AMP Outlet

Outside. Our panel has ALL house breakers and meter on it.

And to confirm, the panel is indoors (in your garage)?
