Insallation Cautions
I have installed and used the 30A box since 1999. Except for the 50A
connector, the box is the same. Product installation information is
inadequate for a novice, so this should help your to decided if your are
capable of a proper installation. Remember that a standard
household electrical outlet and the 30A RV power panel is single
phase, 120-volt power. This 50A box is two-phase 240-volt power.
This means there are two voltage lines, one from each side of the
building's breaker panel. Each line is 120V to the common neutral but
240V between the two voltage lines. If a 50A-to-30A adapter is used,
you will be drawing up to 30A from one of the two circuits. This means
that the wire gauge from the power panel should be 10 gauge,
certainly not smaller diameter than 12 gauge. As gauge size gets
smaller, wire diameter gets larger. Two 30A circuit breakers, one for
each of the circuits is required. They must be ganged together so that
if either breaker is is overloaded and trips off, the other breaker will
also be tripped off. Make sure to comply with the National Electrical
Code and any local codes. By law in your community, whether county,
city, or township, you are probably required to obtain a building permit
and have the installation inspected. If you fail to to this and there is a
fire, even if caused by an unrelated problem, you fire insurance may
deny any claim for restitution of loss.

power outlet
Sturdy, socket is insulated from weather even when cord is plugged in. Liked it so much I bought another one and installed it on the side of the house. The only thing that could make it better is a switch so you could turn off the power so as to not trip your power line monitor while plugging in. I installed a switch in front of it so I could do just that.

Q & A
Can a 50 breaker be added to the box to isolate it ?
Can I add a 50 amp breaker to isolate the box, and how many spaces are there in the box ?
This outlet box is supposed to be wired to its own breaker during installation. There is only a single female 50amp RV outlet(NEMA 14-50R) on this box.

It does, yes.
