If you’re searching for a veteran RV and camper electrician, look no further than Jarrett Electric!
According to the RV Industry Association, around 8.1 million American households own an RV, and 16.9 million more express a strong interest in purchasing one soon. With people spending an average of 30 days per year in their vehicle, that’s a lot of electricity being used!
Have a small rig and just a few appliances? We’re experienced with installing standard 30-amp outlets. Want to warm food in the microwave without sacrificing the cooling breeze of an AC? We’ve got you covered with a 50-amp receptacle. No matter how much power you require, Jarrett Electric can give you everything you need to keep your adventure running.
If your current outlets aren’t providing enough power, don’t settle for less than you deserve. We’re capable of upgrading existing electrical hardware, making sure your rig can withstand anything you throw at it.

Installing outlets for RVs and campers requires adherence to electrical codes and proper permit certification. We manage the paperwork, coordinate inspections, and guarantee every installation meets both national and local standards.
Whether you need a 30-amp or 50-amp receptacle depends on the size of your vehicle and how many appliances you want to run simultaneously; for smaller vehicles, a 30-amp outlet should be fine, but it will require power-hungry appliances—such as air conditioners and microwaves—to be turned off while other items are in use. If you have a larger vehicle, a 50-amp outlet will let you run multiple items at once, including the aforementioned power hogs, without tripping any breakers.
For a smaller RV or camper to utilize a 50-amp outlet, you’ll need an adapter or, more likely, an entire rewiring of the vehicle’s internal systems. Please review your vehicle’s user manual and/or breaker box to determine which power level it is capable of supporting. Additionally, you should be able to tell what your current system is by checking the outlets, as 30-amp receptacles have three prongs, while 50-amp receptacles have four.
Yes, RVs and campers can be plugged into the typical 15-amp and 20-amp outlets found at houses and commercial locations, but an adapter will be required. Since RV receptacles run at 30 or 50 amps, you’ll need to watch your power usage, as the cord can easily overheat or a breaker may get tripped.
Due to RV outlets being weather resistant and designed specifically for high consumption over extended periods, it may be best to get a dedicated RV receptacle installed. We can upgrade your system to safely support a vehicle, ensuring reliable use and preventing accidental overloads.
Generally, installing a new outlet takes 2–6 hours, while replacing a damaged one requires about 30 minutes. Upgrades can take longer, especially if they necessitate rewiring the vehicle or modifying a location’s breaker box—for larger projects, it could take around a day to get everything done.
Costs vary depending on system capacity, wiring needs, and material requirements. On average, installations in Central Oregon range from $500 to $1,500. We provide upfront estimates before any work begins.
While there’s a wide variety of reasons a vehicle may lose power, these are some of the more typical ones:
