50-Amp RV Outlet Box With a Local Breaker

[2Tall]

We are building a new home and will be storing our 5th wheel on-site. Our building plan includes 50 amp service to the side of the house where our 5th wheel will be and the electric contractor has told us to buy the box we want and he will install it. I did a Google search for "50 amp RV box with breaker" and received a wide array of choices. I am looking for a box with just the 50 amp receptacle and a breaker in the box. Do not want/need a combo box with an additional 30 amp, 20 amp, etc. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions that have worked out well from the Grand Design family!

Thanks All!

Do you need one that has a breaker as well? You should have a breaker at the panel (possibly by code), not sure why you need two.

Yes, there is a breaker at the panel, however, my 68 year-old knees want to save some steps running back and forth to the basement for hooking up and disconnecting the power to our 5th wheel.

Makes perfect sense!

Amazon has lots of them and I highly recommend doing the 50/30/20 box as the money isn't but a little more . Always build for the next owner or RV

Thank you!

I went with 30 amp service with an on/off switch, didn't really need 50 amp and the wire for 50 amp was almost double of 30 (almost 50'.

Thank you!

You don't have to buy and install the breakers you don't need. Just put in a blocking plate(s). However, I would suggest having a 15A receptacle outside to power up whatever when doing maintenance on the trailer would probably be a useful thing.

We will have a 15A plug on the side of the house next to the RV pad. Thanks!

A canadian link but I'm sure the US Amazon would have as well.
It's UL listed it claims.

When I put in my RV pedestal, I used this from Amazon:

RVGUARD 20 30 50 Amp RV Temporary Power Outlet Panel with Breaker, Type 3R​

I know you said 50A only, but for $80, I'd go with 50/30/20. You never know when you might wish you had a 30 amp outlet.

 

[2Tall]

Thank you!

Put in the combo panel. The next guy might have a 30 amp set up.

Ya but he could always use a 50 to 30 dogbone.

Ya but he could always use a 50 to 30 dogbone.

The difference in cost of the single 50 and the combo is probably less than a GOOD doggone adapter.

Ya but the OP wouldn’t have to pony up for it!

This is what I installed. It does have a 20 amp outlet and breaker but for $128…..very reasonable! Amazon.com
