billkoboldt Report post Posted September 11, 2012 The condominium campground that we stay in and keep our motorhome there all summer is in the process of updating our electric service. We are putting in all new wiring and panel boxes that will contain 50, 30 and 20 amp receptacles. The new panel boxes are going to be relocated which means my electric cord will be above ground, which will be in the way every time I cut grass. Can a 30 or 50 amp cord be permanently buried without having a moisture problem or should it be run through PVC pipe or other conduit. The cord would be plugged into the new panel box and the other end would be wired to another receptacle along side the motorhome so I don't have to have so much cord showing.The cord would only be buried about 4 in. below the surface.
