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 , just not sure if the 220 would be too much and fry my converter.

I ran 150 feet of 8 gauge.. and purchased the RV connector at an RV shop.
30 amp 120 volt A/C....
trailer plugs right in.. No adaptor.

Use a single breaker. 240 will let the smoke out of more than just the converter.

It needs to be 110 or 120 volts a.c. Also use the 30 amp circuit breaker
with 10 gauge wire. I wired one for mine and really like it. If you don't
have a 30 amp. outlet, you can probably run everything except the roof air.

If you run more than 25 feet of wire, you may need to go from
10 gauge to 8 or even 6.

It's a 120v, 30A alternating current hook up, not 240V.
