30 amp 125 v RV trailer in detached garage

[Stevenfyeager]

A customer needs power for 8 outlets, plus two overhead door motors, lights, and a 30 amp 125 v RV in a detached garage. I can install a 30 amp 240 v panel fairly easily. (trenching 40 ft) Will this be enough power for him ? I will be trenching from another detached garage that has a 60 amp subpanel which is 120 feet from the house.) This detached garage is a 3 bay, with 3 overhead door motors and outlets and lights. My second question is, will it be ok to tap 30 amps from this first garage subpanel ? Thank you.

Continue the 60 on over. He can afford it. You and he will be happier with the results.

You need to do a load calculation for both garages. However at a guess the 60A feeder is sufficient for both garages, and I'd suggest running the full 60A from the first to the second.

Heck. I'd go for 60 amps to each building.

30 amp RV today, 50 amp tomorrow. The new Hummer they park in there will appreciate the upgrade as well.
