installing 30 amp power at home
I'm thinking of installing a 30 amp breaker box and run it from my garage to my camper. Should I use a 220 or 110 to supply the power for the 30 amp. I'm not really an electrician but this I can do , ...

My fear with getting professional help is alot of them never heard of RV's and how they are just a tad different then house wiring.
You really have to bring it up it is a RV not a house wiring situation. Then you kinda want to stay away from the brother-inlaw who knows house wiring for the same reason. Hopefully a BONDED licensed electrician will pay for all of the damage he may have done by wiring it like the house wiring is and blows up most of your 120VAC appliances with the first flip of the circuit breaker... "Do you smell smoke ?" It could add up dollar wise rather quick
One of these days I want to do the same thing but for now I am getting by just fine using two 10-gauge (10-3) HD contractor type 50-foot extension cords plugged into two different 120VAC 15/20AMP Receptacle circuits in the garage running out to my two trailers. I use the RV30A-15A adapter long adapter (WALMART) laying out in the middle of the yard and this powers up both RV trailers where i can run everything inside including air conditioner. I just have to watch what I have turned on at the same time otherwise it will trip the breaker in the garage.
