Power Your RV Pad With Reliable Hookups

SMB Electric LLC installs RV electrical hubs for residential and recreational properties in Sandpoint, Idaho.

If you store an RV at your Sandpoint property or plan to host guests with campers, you need a dedicated electrical hookup that can handle the load without tripping your main panel. Many homes in Sandpoint sit on larger lots near the lake or in rural areas where adding an RV pad makes practical sense, but running power safely to that pad requires the right equipment and a properly sized circuit.

SMB Electric LLC installs power pedestals and outlet assemblies designed specifically for RV use, connecting them back to your main panel with the appropriate breaker and wiring. This service includes evaluating your existing electrical capacity, running conduit and wire to the pad location, mounting the pedestal or outlet box, and testing the connection to confirm it delivers stable power. The installation protects your home's electrical system while giving your RV or guest camper access to shore power for air conditioning, appliances, and battery charging.

What Gets Installed and How It Connects

The installation begins with a site walk to determine the best pedestal location, measure the distance from your panel, and confirm that your existing service can support the additional load. In Sandpoint, many properties have gravel or dirt pads, so conduit is typically buried in a shallow trench or run along a fence line depending on terrain and local code requirements.

Once the pedestal is mounted and wired, you will have a weatherproof box with outlets rated for RV plugs, often including both 30-amp and 50-amp receptacles. The circuit is connected to a dedicated breaker in your panel, which means your RV power is isolated from the rest of your home and will not interfere with indoor lighting or appliances.

The pedestal box is designed to withstand outdoor conditions year-round, and the wiring is sized to prevent voltage drop over distance. This service does not include grading the pad itself or installing water or sewer hookups, but it does provide the electrical foundation needed to make your RV pad functional and code-compliant.

You probably have a few questions about the setup

Homeowners in Sandpoint often ask about load capacity, pedestal placement, and how the installation fits into their property plans. Here are answers to the most common questions about RV electrical hub installation.

What amperage do I need for my RV hookup?
Most modern RVs use either a 30-amp or 50-amp connection, and many pedestals include both outlet types. SMB Electric LLC will help you determine the right amperage based on your RV specifications and panel capacity.
How far can the pedestal be from my main panel?
Distance affects wire sizing and cost, but pedestals can typically be installed up to 150 feet from your panel without issue. Longer runs require heavier gauge wire to maintain voltage and meet code requirements.
What if my panel does not have enough capacity?
If your panel is at or near capacity, you may need a panel upgrade before adding the RV circuit. SMB Electric LLC will assess your panel during the estimate and explain your options if an upgrade is needed.
How long does the installation take?
Most RV hub installations are completed in one day, depending on the distance from your panel and whether trenching is required. Weather and soil conditions in Sandpoint can affect trenching time.
Can I use the pedestal for other equipment?
Yes, the outlets can power other outdoor equipment as long as the total load does not exceed the circuit rating. You can plug in tools, outdoor heaters, or other devices when the RV is not connected.
