Bruce, I believe the NEC specifies that outdoor means anything that is not indoor. There can still be moisture under there, temperature is a factor also. Not to mention mice, bats, insects etc that might damage the sheathing. I will have to consult with a pro on the exact type of wire needed. Maybe armored cable due to the pass through the floor, maybe UF is ok or since I think I will use PVC conduit, type TW.
Direct burial is not needed, else I would use aluminum conduit. Burying the wire would be nice except I would need a pro to dig the trench due to the presence of many tree roots. Further, since this is a mobile home, a buried wire is not desired.
