RV 30amp Outdoor Circuit
I have an existing outdoor disconnect for a previous Hot Tub I had with what appears to be #6 wiring for a 30amp dual pole gfi breaker. Looking to install a 30amp circuit for my RV and ran 10/2 wiring in conduit about 70ft out to a post in the yard. I'm replacing the dual pole 30amp breaker with a single. Question: Can I use the existing #6 thick wire to the disconnect box and connect the 10/2 from there.. or do I need to run the 10/2 back to the breaker box? Getting the existing wires out and running the 10/2 into the house is going to be a pain.

Type NM-B with ground... is that what you're asking?

For now you can keep the #6 wiring to a junction box and extend the #10 UF (cable) or THWN (individual wires) underground from there. Use a 30 amp breaker at the panel for the #6 line.
At a later date you can put a subpanel where the #6 ends outside, add more breakered circuits from there, and up the rating of the panel breaker for the #6 line.
