Installing a 30 Amp Outlet for a Motor Home
[ad#block]Electrical Question: I need to run approx 80 feet of #10 wire for a 30 amp outlet to plug in my motor home. What can I use for an on/off switch near the outlet?

This electrical question came from: Ralph, from Skowhegan, Maine

Thanks for your electrical question Ralph

Motor Home Outlet

Providing a Disconnect Switch for a Motor Home

The 30 amp service for the motor home may be brought into a sub panel where a 30 amp circuit breaker may be installed and used as a disconnect switch. The 30 amp circuit breaker would feed the 30 amp receptacle where the motor home would be plugged into.
This electrical project should be installed with a permit and all work should be inspected.
