Installing a 120V-30amps outlet

[dodgeramman123]

I want to install a 120v-30amp RV receptacle on the outside wall of my vinyl covered garage. I've read on how to wire it, and understand that well. I would like to know what kind of weather proof box should I use for it? I want it looking decent. Thanks in advance!!!

I just got an outlet box at my RV dealer.. Looked good.

The Home Depot link above is an exact match for it.. I like the fact that the door opens UP and thus has a natural tendency to close.

Fed it with a 20 amp breaker though due to the size wire that was already there.

I used the Connecticut Electric box with breaker. I bought it at Amazon. It is very good quality and weathertight.

I don't think I'll be getting a bigger trailer anytime soon, but who knows? Right? If I did I know how to wire for it also. Maybe I'll win a lottery!!!!! Yeah!! Right!! I was just looking for that type of waterproof box, which also looks good. Thanks for posting it for me.

This is what I have.

Home Depot 30 amp outlet

Don't know why they call it "temporary" but works well.

If you MAY get a bigger trailer/rv, wire it thicker 3 conductor + ground wire so you can install a 50 amp receptacle. I did something a little different, but I don't want to confuse you or start a debate.

There is also these from Amazon
