Wired to the Spot Where the Rig Will Sit|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268

On a Spring Hill lot, the RV outlet is set at the place the rig will park, and for a permitted stay Hernando County wants that place drawn on a site plan before the cable goes in. Kennedy Electric installs 30-amp and 50-amp RV outlets for Spring Hill homes and runs each one to the rig's own parking place.

Name the spot on your lot the rig will use.

Hernando's Two RV Permits and the Power Behind Them

At a glance

Hernando's Two RV Permits and the Power Behind Them

Power to an RV used at a home in Hernando County is tied to the county's RV permit, which comes as a two-week visitor permit or a six-month resident permit. Under it, power issued for the RV ends when the permit does. An RV outlet for a permitted stay is a feed with an end date, planned around the stay it serves.

An RV that brings friends or relatives to the county may be used at the host family's home for up to 14 days, and the visitors file an application with the county's zoning official within two working days of arrival. A stay that short rarely calls for a permanent pedestal at the back of the lot.

An RV permitted while a house is being built or installed on the property is disconnected from all utilities 30 days after the house receives its certificate of occupancy, so its feed is planned for the build and the month after it.

How an RV Hookup Comes Together in Spring Hill

How it runs

How an RV Hookup Comes Together in Spring Hill

  1. 1

    Mark the parking spot first

    Settle the RV's spot before anything else. Sketch it on a copy of your lot, mark the side of the house where the electrical panel hangs, and pace off the distance between the two. The same sketch serves the zoning application and the estimate visit.

  2. 2

    Permits from more than one office

    The RV permit itself is a zoning application, handled by Planning and Zoning. Electrical, plumbing, and any other work permits come through the Building Division. We take care of the electrical one, and the inspector will need a clear path to the panel and the outlet. The sewer, septic, or holding-tank arrangement the application also asks about is plumbing and health department work, which sits outside ours.

  3. 3

    The outlet goes in at the marked spot

    The circuit runs from the panel out to the pad or wall chosen in the sketch. The RV plugs in once the county's inspection has passed.

What we cover

The RV's Spot on the Lot, and the Outlet It Needs

Each of the spots below is planned on its own terms, down to whether it needs an outlet at all.

The driveway or side yard, for a visiting RV

A visiting rig usually sits on the driveway or beside the garage, close to the house. Its outlet can mount on the garage wall or the house wall facing the drive, on a short run from the panel, with the cord kept clear of the front walk. Many travel trailers plug into a 30-amp outlet and larger motorhomes into a 50-amp one; the plug on your rig decides which.

The site-plan spot, for a permitted RV stay

For a resident permit, the outlet belongs where the approved site plan puts the RV, not wherever wiring would be easiest. When that spot is a pad away from the house, the outlet stands on a post or a factory pedestal at the pad's edge, with its cable buried from the house.

Beside a house that's still going up

On a lot with a house under construction, the new panel may not be live yet, so the source of the RV's feed depends on what is energized on the site at the time. That part is planned with whoever runs the build, whether the owner or a general contractor.

The RV's storage spot at the side or rear

Of the permitted rigs, only the one tied to a home's construction is stored on the lot once the house is finished, at the side of the home or the rear of the lot, meeting the setbacks for that zoning. Its power has ended by then, so the storage spot is planned without an RV outlet. A rig on a six-month resident permit leaves the parcel when that permit ends.

Pricing

What Shapes an RV Outlet Estimate in Spring Hill

01

Each spot on the lot is priced on its own, once the visit has measured how far it sits from the panel.

02

Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.

03

Repair and troubleshooting visits are billed by the hour from arrival: $100 residential, $150 commercial, one-hour minimum, then half-hour increments, plus materials. No trip charge and no service fee. No hidden fees: the 3.5% surcharge on card and ACH payments is listed in our terms.

04

We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.

We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.

Our warranty

05

If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.

Common questions

Wiring the House Side of an RV Hookup

Our Spring Hill house has a 200-amp service. How many 50-amp RV outlets can it carry?

There's no set number. The 200 amps serve the whole house, and each 50-amp RV outlet is a circuit of its own added to the air conditioning, the water heater, the range, and everything else the service already feeds. A load calculation at the visit adds those together and shows how many rig outlets fit, if any. If you plan more than the service can take, a panel upgrade comes first.

How far from a Spring Hill house can the RV outlet stand?

There's no fixed distance. A longer run loses more voltage on the way out, so the wire size goes up with the length to keep the voltage at the rig high enough for its air conditioner. A buried run also has to find a path past whatever lies between, such as a driveway, a patio, or a septic drain field.

Family is bringing a camper to our Spring Hill house for a two-week visit. Can it plug into an outlet we already have?

For a permitted stay, Hernando County calls for an electric permit to provide power to the RV. Whether a cord to an existing outlet meets that is the county zoning official's call, and with the visitors' filing due so soon after they arrive, that answer is best in hand before the camper pulls in.

Does an outdoor RV outlet need a special cover?

Yes. An outlet in a wet spot carries a cover that stays closed while the cord is plugged in, often called an in-use or bubble cover. A post-mounted RV pedestal comes from its maker already built for the weather.

Does the RV outlet need a ground rod of its own?

No, not when one circuit from your panel feeds it. That outlet is grounded through the equipment ground wire that runs back with the circuit. That wire, not a rod, gives a fault its way back to the panel, and the breaker trips on that current. The home's own rod connects the system to the earth and stays where it is.
