What are the short (maybe 3' high) electrical poles that RVs plug into at RV parks called, and where can I get one? They usually have a 30 A RV receptical, a 50 A RV receptical and at least one convenience outlet.
We are building a retirement home, already bought the land and we are just starting with the plans.
Anyway, there is a great spot for me to put in a pad for our RV, out of the way of the construction but within range of a source of electricity, water, and septic hookup, so we can stay there, off and on, while the house is going up.
The electrical is going to have to be up to code, and one of those posts seems like the ideal thing. I just have no idea what they are even called.
Plus, I have seen them with extra outlets, and I can legally put up a shed of less than 150 sq ft with no permits at all. I just can't put permanent electricity inside it. So, a couple of extra outlets on the pole which will be only 10' or so from the shed, and I can legally run electricity into the shed with an extension cord (properly shielded from the weather). This will effectively double the living space of the RV, and when the house is completed the shed will be a useful permanent addition to the property.
