LOOK FOR DURABILITY
When choosing an RV plug-in, durability is key. Considering the various weather conditions it will face, along with frequent and the challenges of outdoor living, selecting high-quality, weather-resistant materials is essential. Opt for a reputable brand that provides corrosion-resistant products designed for and longevity. At Problem Solved Electric, we utilize only the highest quality equipment to meet your needs.

Prioritizing safety in your RV's electrical systems is essential. Start by identifying the RV plug and opting for models that include key safety features. The surge protector is vital, as it shields your RV's electrical system from surges while protecting your appliances and electronics from damage. Additionally, a circuit breaker is crucial for cutting the electrical connection during an overload, preventing potential fire hazards in your recreational vehicle. Be sure to select versions that offer the highest level of safety.

30-amp, 50-amp, or full RV pad

Most travel trailers run on a 30-amp outlet and most fifth wheels and motorhomes on 50-amp. We install both as dedicated circuits with weatherproof RV-rated receptacles - not a dryer outlet with an adapter, which is a common and expensive mistake. If you are building out a full RV pad for guests or long-term parking, we can run power, add a small subpanel, and set it up so water and sewer hookups have the electrical support they need.

Shops, RV bays, and detached garages

A lot of RV power requests in Rathdrum, Athol, and Post Falls come with a bigger question: powering the whole shop. We run underground feeders to detached shops and garages, set subpanels sized for welders, compressors, lifts, and heat, and plan the trench once so you are not digging twice. If an RV bay is part of the plan, we wire the outlet at the same time for a fraction of the standalone cost.

What the installation involves

A safe RV hookup means a load calculation on your existing panel, a properly sized breaker and wire run - usually buried in conduit at code depth - a GFCI-protected, weatherproof receptacle rated for RV use, and an electrical permit with state inspection here in Kootenai County. We handle the whole process, including the trench-depth and conduit questions that trip up DIY installs.
