Campground Power Checklist Before You Connect

RV Power Essentials campground power checklist graphic

Check campground power before your RV becomes the tester.

A campground pedestal can look normal and still have wiring faults, voltage problems, or connection issues. Start with the basics: match amperage, check power first, then finish the cord and adapter path.

  • Know whether your RV uses 30A or 50A service.
  • Use surge protection before power reaches the rig.
  • Match cords, dogbones, and adapters after the protector is chosen.
