I am looking for a 50 amp RV receptacle to mount on the side of my garage. Then I will be able to connect to power at home with out any adaptors. Most 1973-78 GM outfitted Motorhomes had these on the drivers side for connection to the Onan power. Thanks for responding.

John,

I bought one in a box off the shelf at Lowes for about 30$. I looked but could not find the number when I just looked.

I installed this one:

http://www.lowes.com/pd_242308-82364-CHU1S_0__?productId=3027570&Ntt=50+amp+enclosure

If Home Depot is more convenient, it is a couple dollars more

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Eaton-50-Amp-1-Space-1-Circuit-Temporary-RV-Power-Outlet-Box-CHU1S/100565603

Or get this one from Home Depot for about the same price as the Eaton one from Lowes

http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-50-Amp-Temporary-RV-Power-Outlet-U054P/100193650

This is the best one if you have dollars to spend. It gives you a 120v outlet too. Will need 6 gauge wire though.

Thanks for the suggestions. Home Depot is where I'll be going to.
