you need(3) 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum wires and one no. 6 green wire for the frame ground…..go to your local power company and pick up your meter box and they will give you an instruction sheet that tells you what to do and what size wires ,conduit you need and how to ground it…

the previous answer was from a moron…. if you are talking about your underground feeds from a disconnect on a pole, you will need to run #2 URD quad for 100 amp service, or 0000 URD quad for a 200 amp service, you must have a ground rod driven in ground by main disconnect on outside pole, and all ground wires must be seperated from neutral wires in panel inside mobile home, direct burial cable must be burried 24 inches deep and sleeved in schedule 80 conduit when exiting the ground and entering the disconnect, if you are running the wire above the ground under the mobile home when it passes the skirting, it needs to be sleeved in either ridged or flexible conduit to prevent damage by rodents….. to tell you the truth, if you dont understand what i just wrote, then you shouldnt attempt this yourself, call a professional, its not worth burning your family in their sleep to save a few bucks…..
REVISED~~~
if your calling your RV a mobile home, then you probly need a to bury 10-2 with ground UF and feed it with a single pole thirty amp breaker, and on the pole install a 30 amp 120 volt recepticle with a weatherproof in use cover, thats what most campgrounds use….

It depends on your service that you have in the house. 100amp or 200amp. I would use a 1/0. Copper it will allow 230 ampacities at 75 degrees C. Your best bet for what you need is to look up local codes or follow the NEC guildlines. Call a local electrical Co. to find out what you need.
