To use that 220V in garage you would need to go back to AC Panel and take 1 hot wire off of a breaker and connect it to the GROUND bus. ID as ground by placing green tape around both ends of that wire (s/b a RED wire but not being code who knows)
In garage you should have 1 Black/HOT, 1 Red/was hot but now being used as Ground and 1 White/Neutral.
Wire nut appropriate wires (black/Hot, Green/Ground, Whote/Neutral to those in box and run to outside wall then into a Water proof 30A RV receptacle/box
This. But since I only need 110V, I'm leaning to just going from a GFI protected 15A already near where the outside box will go. Good discussion, thanks!
That would be YOUR best option

you would best be leaving ANY electrical connections as simple as possible
