Question: How do I hook up power to my RV at home?

How do RVs hook up to power?

Almost all RVs come with a power cord to plug into the electrical pedestal at a campground (developed campgrounds with available hookups, anyway). This is also known as a “shore power” connection. These power cords come in two amperages: 30-amp and 50-amp. A 30-amp cord has three prongs, and a 50-amp has four.

Can you plug a 50 amp RV into your house?

While its not recommended to plug RV into house power for extended trips, it is possible for a short amount of time. However, to do so, most RVs will require at least a 30/50 amp and a 15/20 amp electrical outlet.

Do RVs need electric hookup?

RVs do not need to be plugged in but they can be. In fact, an RV can be plugged into many different sources and a plugged-in RV offers a lot of additional functionality. So most RVers prefer to be plugged into the electrical grid and a water hose when possible.
