50 amp power panel

[be happy]

I have a 30amp power box with breaker now for my outside RV power source. I am needing to upgrade to 50amp service. I am having a problem finding a rv50 amp outside box with breaker. I only want the female plug and breaker.
Thanks

Breaker depends on your electical panel and what's in it now with regards to brand/type.

This is what you are looking for, only available with the 20 amp GFCI included. I have never seen one with just a 50 amp receptacle & breaker, they usually include a 20 and sometimes a 20 & a 30.

I'm not sure what you are wanting. Is it a case where you want to keep an existing box and cover but change the outlet and breaker only to 50?
Or are you wanting to change all three, box, breaker and outlet?

Sometimes the pain of getting seperate 50 amp breaker and outlet to meet an exisiting box is more trouble and sometimes almost as expensive as doing the whole thing!!
Assuming you do want the breaker at this box, not located in the main as it makes it easy to flip off power before connecting /disconnecting the RV?
This is also assuming the wiring is also going to need changed?

This would suit for changing all, without having the 15-20 amp breakers/outlet added but then pricing can get weird when wanting just certain parts of things which are more often sold with more features like the small outlets.

And less than a third of the Home Depot price for the same exact box! Do you suppose there's some gouging going on there?

It's just part of what I have always thought we were mislead on in marketing! The idea was that prices were set by cost of product plus a small amount for profit but Inever sawthat happen. When I buy or sell something it certainmly has some effect when I look at what I paid and what I will accecpt when selling but that is certainly not the way I price things and don't expect business to do it different.

If I get something for free and want to selll it, I price it as what I can expect to get, not what I have invested.

Free enterprize is not what we were taght but what I see is almost unlimited greed!

Irrigation is the current bug for me!
Spray nozzle for 2.89 or the same for 89 cents???? Reasonable profit, perhaps?

What really bugs me is when I order and they ship it from Florida, so they are not even stocking the stuff!

I was looking for the same item (50 amp box with breakers). My wife showed me the $48.90 box from gewheatleys.com and recommended against it.
Reasons being she said:
Price is too far below market to be real.
No feedback for the seller/product.
Difficulty/non-existent communications with seller.
I've been burned by the internet before so maybe I'm just.......

It could be that the supplier has old stock at pre-Covid prices. Before Covid that was about the market price for those but since Covid supplies are hard to get and prices on electrical stuff has doubled and tripled, if you can even get it. It's also possible that if you order it they may tell you it's out of stock.

Cost wise, the box is the cheap part. 6/3 NMB has gone through the roof. I’m building a new house and the rv outlet is quite a ways from the panel. I went with a 30amp outlet as I’ll never need to run both air conditioners anyway.
