RV Keeping and Plug-In Limits at Wesley Chapel Homes
Association rules come on top of the county's. Avalon Park West's published rules name a recreational vehicle, camper, or motor home among the vehicles that may not be parked in the community. Where a rule like that applies, the rig isn't kept at the house, and a storage receptacle would have nothing to serve.
Zoning and lot size come next. On land zoned agricultural, or residential land of an acre or more outside the Estate-Residential district, the county lets an RV stand anywhere outside the front setback; a smaller lot keeps it in a screened side or rear yard. Some of Wesley Chapel's older areas have bigger lots: the Quail Hollow Alliance describes the long-established communities around Quail Hollow as “generally of larger acreage.” Where a lot there qualifies, the receptacle follows the rig to whichever allowed spot the owner picks.
Pasco County keeps an RV parked or stored at a house off water, sewer, and electric lines, and it makes one exception: a properly parked or stored rig may be hooked to a battery charger. The county also bars using such an RV as living space. At a Wesley Chapel home, then, an RV receptacle serves the rig's charger and the tools used around it.
How it runs
How a Charger Receptacle for the RV Goes In
-
1
What will plug in
Make a short list of what the receptacle will run: the battery charger or maintainer, and any tools or work lights used around the rig. Their labels list what each one draws, and those figures set the circuit.
-
2
The route out from the panel
From the panel, the circuit can run along the house to a receptacle on a side or back wall. A spot farther out takes a trench across the yard, with the cable coming up in conduit at the post.
-
3
Pasco's permit and inspection
A new circuit out to the rig's spot comes under Pasco's electrical permit, and the county's inspection of it is part of the job.
What we cover
RV Power by Length of Stay
The county limits RV stays by length and by purpose. Taken from the longest stay to the shortest, each one sets where power for the rig and the work around it is useful.
An RV garage with room for several
A permitted, permanent, fully enclosed building can hold as many rigs as it fits under the county's rules, so its wiring is planned bay by bay: lights over each one, receptacles along the walls, a circuit for a tall door's opener, and a receptacle near each rig's batteries.
A rig kept at home for the long term
A stored RV can stay with no end date, and the rig may sit for months between trips, so its charger receptacle is a permanent one in a weather-rated box, ready whenever the rig comes home.
Work on your own RV at home
Repairs are allowed on an RV owned by the household living there, parked where the county permits, and only one RV on the property may be in need of repair at a time. The drills and grinders for that job run from an outdoor receptacle near the storage spot, a house circuit kept apart from the charger's receptacle.
A guest's RV on a permitted visit
A visitor from outside Pasco may use a rig on the lot temporarily as living space, for up to 10 days at a time and four visits a year, under the county's Guest RV Parking Permit. Apart from that temporary use, the guest's rig stays under the county's other RV rules, and those allow a parked rig only a battery charger. Whether that leaves room for an outlet meant for a guest's RV is Pasco County Code Compliance's call to make.
An RV in the driveway before a trip
The county gives campers and motor homes 72 hours in the driveway in any seven days, four times a year, to be readied for a trip, loaded, unloaded, and cleaned. No separate electric allowance comes with those hours, but the work itself can use power: a receptacle on the garage wall facing the drive, close enough for a tool's cord to reach the rig, for a vacuum, a drill, or work lights.
Pricing
An RV Circuit's Price, Factor by Factor
This price depends on the distance from your panel to the rig's spot, whether that run goes underground, and how many circuits the job adds.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
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.
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
05If 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.
