Spank Tom. Jamestown Advanced will sell you a 50-30-20 box, post mounted and ship direct to you.
In the interest of full disclosure I used to own the company and my daughter does now.
But to get to your situation it is very simple. In your house or garage circuit breaker box add a 50 amp double pole circuit breaker to supply power to the power outlet box. You will need to run 4 #6 wires from your circuit breaker box to the power outlet for the bus. Two black wires will be the “hot” wires and they will come from the two terminals of the 50 amp circuit breaker. A white neutral wire will run from the neutral bus bar in the circuit breaker box and it will connect to the corresponding bar in the power outlet box. The last wire will run from the ground bar to the power outlet box ground bar.
Your local electriciian or code official will help define how you need to run the wires to meet code. You will also have to have then determine if the codes require a “bonded Neutral” for which their is provision in the power outlet box.
I suggested a 50-30-20 box because it give you the 50 amp for the coach, but also leave available 2 more outlets that arer always handy when you work around the bus or want to park another coach alongside of yours.
My shameless promotion of Jamestown Advanced products is because I know they are excellent quality and are all UL listed so local officials will have no objection. The company also makes boxes available for sale in big box stores under the Siemans and Murray labels, but if you buy direct from the factory it will be the Jamestown brand. If you have any questions ask away.
