Touchstone Electric installed a dedicated 50-amp RV outlet (camper box) for a homeowner in Fairview, NC. Completed on March 17, 2025 by technician Grady Houston, this project provided safe, code-compliant power for a camper within 10 feet of the home’s electrical panel. The work was coordinated by our Charlotte business unit and completed by our Hendersonville branch team serving the Fairview area.
After the installation, SJ Seldin praised our team with a positive review, highlighting a smooth experience and reliable results.
What we installed
- RV Outlet – Camper Box: A weather-resistant, outdoor-rated metal enclosure with a heavy-duty 50-amp outlet designed specifically for camper hookups.
- 6/3 NM-B Wiring (approx. 7 ft): Dedicated 50-amp, 240V supply run to power high-demand RV equipment; includes any required junction box as part of the run.
- New 50A Two-Pole Breaker: Provides overcurrent protection and a dedicated circuit for the RV outlet to ensure safe and reliable operation.
This combination delivers the right amperage and a robust outdoor connection point for travel trailers, fifth-wheels, and motorhomes, all while maintaining separation from household circuits.
How the installation was completed
- Site assessment and layout: Verified panel capacity, planned a short, direct route within 10 feet to minimize voltage drop and ensure clean routing.
- Breaker and wiring: Installed a 50-amp two-pole breaker, then ran approximately 7 feet of 6/3 NM-B cable to supply the outlet location. Conductors were neatly secured, protected where required, and terminated to manufacturer specifications.
- Outdoor camper box: Mounted a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated metal enclosure in a convenient, accessible spot for easy camper hookups.
- Grounding and bonding: Ensured correct grounding and bonding connections for personal and equipment safety.
- Labeling and testing: Labeled the new circuit at the panel, verified correct voltage at the receptacle, and performed functional testing before turning the circuit over to the homeowner.
The final result is a clean, professional installation that’s ready for immediate use, with the outlet positioned for straightforward plug-in and safe operation.
Code-compliant power for campers
Our team follows current electrical code and manufacturer requirements for mounting heights, conductor terminations, and outdoor equipment ratings. The dedicated 50-amp breaker ensures the outlet is protected and isolated from other household loads, while the outdoor-rated metal camper box stands up to weather and frequent use.
Whether you’re setting up for a long-term RV stay, preparing for visiting friends or family, or simply want a safe alternative to extension cords, a properly installed 50-amp outlet helps protect your RV equipment and provides dependable power for air conditioning, cooking appliances, and other onboard systems.
