Surprised nobody mentioned the "Midwest Box". NEMA 3R weatherproof while In-Use box with RV receptacle included for about 25 bucks. Regular stock item at the supply houses I shop at.

I haven't hooked one of these up either, however, I have seen an nice pre-made "RV outlet box" at Lowes that you may want to check out.

I see that now. There used to be a company made these boxes also named "Connecticut Electric". I haven't seen any of their products in years, so I'm not sure if they're still around or not. Square D makes these RV receptacle boxes too, but they're stupid expensive. For 25 bucks from Midwest, you'd be silly not to use one, since it's a weatherproof connection while the cord is plugged in. You can't get a bubble cover big enough for an RV cord.

I agree, when I first saw it at Lowes I thought it was a great idea. Midwest has some other good ones like that for pools and AC units (with the GFCI built in) as well.

I have already bought their RV box, and chucked the RV receptacle since I just needed a big weatherproof while in use box for another receptacle type. The last one was for a 240V pressure washer receptacle. In my opinion, 25 bucks ain't bad for just the can, since it is unique.
