Installing sub console plus 50 amp RV outlet

---

Hello all,

I'grand planning to install a sub-panel in my garage and take it feed a 50 amp outdoor RV outlet and I wanted to cheque my assumptions and ask a few questions.

I accept a 200-amp panel in my basement grounded to a city water pipe. The garage is most 15 feet away with a wooden deck connecting the 2.

I want to put a 100 amp subpanel in the garage (20' from the primary panel). The subpanel volition feed the garage circuits (compressor, lights, power tools, garage door - all on one circuit at present) and an outdoor wall-mounted RV outlet with 20, thirty, and 50 amp outlets. The outlet volition be almost 50 feet from the garage panel + 25 feet of RV ability cablevision.

The xxx amp RV outlet will probably never be used, only the 20 amp could be used at the same time as the fifty (which could exist running ii air roof conditioners simultaneously).

My plan is to put a 100 amp breaker in the chief panel and run wires through PVC conduit under the deck to the subpanel in the garage. Then from a 70 amp breaker in that panel to the RV outlet.

Questions:

1. Does that sound about right?
2. What size/type wire from the firm to garage?
3. What size/blazon wire from the garage panel to the RV outlet?
4. From my reading, it looks like I need to bulldoze a basis rod for the garage. Do I need a second basis rod for the RV outlet?
5. Practice I need to run the wires in conduit from the Principal console to the PVC conduit? (same for the other terminate of the PVC?)

Cheers for whatsoever advice.

Bob
