... Id strongly suggest running a 220v circuit so more options are available later.  

      Yes.  He said in the first post that he has 240V available to tie in to.

       There is a great advantage to 240V service.  With the right wire capacity and breaker box set up, you can get the equivalent of 100Amps of power - whether you run 240V appliances or split it into two 120V legs - versus 30Amps.  Of course, if you don't build in a lot of power, you could join the chorus of all the people shouting and singing "I am so glad that I don't have enough power to run everything and do everything I need to do" -- which nobody said, ever.

        On the other hand, OP said "temporary" so yah gotta make the call, how much do you want to limit yourself to make it temporary and cheap versus permanent and good.

One advantage of putting the wire in conduit is that it is easier to reuse it later in another circuit. So, while it may be overkill for 'temporary' -- later he will have a head start when he installs 'permanent'.

I used a 8 gauge  wire ( stove wire ) in a cheep water line 1.5 " to a post and 40 amp 240 breaker at the panel  = 80 amps at the pole as a temp . power supply
with a regular stove plug at the pole and plugged in the 50 amp rv plug from the rv
