Need a 35amp RV circuit wired up

[dutchmanazA1]

Appear to have room in the panel (3 blanks left) and would like to have an weatherproof RV outlet installed for occasional use when I'm prepping the travel trailer. Located in SE Chandler. 

Please PM if interested. Thanks!

Call Big’s RV service. I’m pretty sure they service that area and are very reasonable.

I think all I need is a normal grounded 110/120V 35Amp outlet as I have an adapter to fit the RV cord. Was hoping a competent electrician wouldn't mind a side job.

Single Pole 40amp breaker and some #8 AWG THWN wire. Do you want it hanging from the bottom of the panel? Circuit breakers are panel specific so you need to know the panel manufacturer.

Pics would help.

Outside underneath the panel or wherever I can get to it.  Stucco siding so there's that to consider.  Open to punching a hole into the exterior wall into the garage (no wiring or plumbing to worry about), but whatever is easier.

Usually, an RV hookup is 30 amp, 110 volt for the smaller trailers and 50 amp for large trailers.  I'm confused about 35 amp.  From a 30 amp breaker, you will run the 3 wires out the bottom of the panel to a box with the RV 30 amp socket receptacle and within reach of your power cord.  If you run do have to run it underground (LOTS more trouble) to a pillar, consider pulling 4 wires for a 50 amp set up and leave room for an adjacent slot in the panel to fit a 2-pull 50 amp breaker, just leaving the last wire not hooked up till you need it.  That will make it almost a trivial upgrade if you get a big trailer that requires the 50 amp setup. We had a contractor set up ours for our 30 amp requirements.  I'm sure glad he pulled the larger wires and extra wire for the 50 amp that we are using now.  My panel is almost identical to yours.

You're right. Why I typed 35 instead of 30 is beyond me. Sheesh. 

30amp is what I need..

[PRDATR]

Not much cost difference between a 30 or 40 amp braker 10 gauge wire for 30 amps. Probably less than an hour to do it.

[dutchmanazA1]

I agree it should be an easy job, but I don't pull wires for a living.

I would set it up for a 60 Amp. That way if you ever get a larger RV it would handle it as well. Labor is the same either way. Short distance for wire from the panel to the outlet makes that easy and not that much of an increase in cost. I'd use copper wire, not aluminum. If you set it up with a 60 Amp you could plug in an Arc Welder or a 50 Amp circuit or a 30 amp or more!

Very versatile leaving your options wide open.

Just a recommendation.

Thanks but coming all the way from Globe probably wouldn't be worth it for him or me for this small of a job.

Problem solved. Thanks all.
