the wire calculators i used are all showing #6 for 125'. the wire i am using is 90 degrees C as well.
the voltage drop is right at 2% for that distance, within the 3% recommendation.
when sitting in the shop, i can not imagine running more than the 4 air cons and fridge and lights etc. it would only be when getting ready to go in the heat of the summer. and that would be less than 30 amps at 240.
the closer rv outlets will have no issue with 6/3. the 125' one is for my coach in the shop.
the outside one will only be 25' from the panel.
