What is an RV Panel?
An RV panel, also known as an RV hookup or RV pedestal, is a specialized electrical connection point designed to provide power to recreational vehicles. These panels are typically installed at campgrounds, RV parks, or even at your home to allow for convenient and safe electrical hookups. An RV panel includes a 120/240-volt power outlet, circuit breakers for overload protection, ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection, and a weather-resistant enclosure.
The importance of a properly installed and maintained RV panel cannot be overstated. It ensures that your RV receives a stable and safe power supply, protecting your vehicle's electrical system and all the appliances and devices within it. A well-designed RV panel also helps prevent common issues such as power surges, short circuits, and overloading, which can damage your RV's electrical components or even pose safety risks.
