Arrow wiring

I want to put in a breaker in my main breaker box and run a line to a 30ft travel trailer. I am not sure of the size of the breaker to add and the size of the line. The trailer is about 60ft away from my house. The box in the trailer says to use a 30a breaker. I have 200 amp service to the main box.

Also this is a single pole breaker and is 110 volt. You can get a recept to match your trailer at the trailer place.

there is a 40 amp breaker in the box allready that isn't being used. It was for my electric stove before we changed to gas, can I use that breaker instead of a 30, or is it to much?

No, don't use the 40. Get a 30.

Also that 40 is a double pole,,, your travel trailer is single.
