I have a 30A RV plug coming, but have a question about wiring. What type of wire should I use, or can I use? It's 30A, and less than 5ft run. Can I just use 10/2 Romex? I haven't been able to find any official info on what type of wire to use. Thanks |

I used 10-2 for a similar short run. Mine is out doors by my house panelbox, so I put it in plastic conduit. I put a 50 amp RV outlet in my shop and use an adapter to 30. I did that because I always park it in there and my plan has always been to upgrade to a 5th wheel whee I will need the 50 anyway. I used much heavier stranded copper wire out of a stove power supply to run that one. It’s indoors, but in metal conduit.. I’d send a pic, but I am out camping now |
| I got a 30A single pole breaker and 10ft runs of 10awg THHN wire in black, white and green for the install. Remembered that Romex can't be put in conduit and I have to run a section of liquid tight through the wall. So, just waiting for the box to come from Amazon and then more adventures in electricity. |

In the process of doing the same thing. You need marine triplex 3-conductor 10-gauge tinned copper stranded wire. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09JZBVBYC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title May have misunderstood where the wire is going. Use the marine triplex for inside the RV. |

Use the marine triplex for inside the RV. I went from the house panel to the outside plug. Not doing anything inside the camper. |
