What it covers
RV power at home in Camarillo
An RV hookup is a dedicated outdoor outlet, sized for your RV, on its own circuit from your panel. The right outlet depends on the RV's plug.
- 30 amp: a TT-30 outlet at 120 volts, common on smaller trailers.
- 50 amp: a 14-50 outlet at 120/240 volts, common on larger motorhomes.
- Weatherproof boxes or a pedestal near the parking spot
- GFCI protection where the code requires it
Wrong outlet risk
A TT-30 and a dryer outlet look alike to some owners, but they are wired differently. A miswired RV outlet can damage the RV's electrical system.
Planning
Panel capacity and permits
A 50 amp RV outlet is a large load. Older Camarillo homes with 100 amp service may not have room without a 200 amp panel upgrade.
The new circuit needs a permit from City of Camarillo Building and Safety, or Ventura County outside city limits. Check HOA rules on RV parking first.
Before you call
- RV plug type: 30 or 50 amp
- Distance from the panel to the RV spot
- Panel size and free spaces

Upkeep
Caring for an RV outlet
Outdoor RV outlets wear out from weather and from plugging and unplugging heavy cords. A loose or burnt outlet runs hot under load.
Check the outlet each season. Replace it if the face is cracked, the plug fits loosely or you see dark marks around the slots.
A surge protector or energy management system on the RV side adds protection when SCE power returns after an outage. Back to the Camarillo electrician page.
Signs of trouble
- Plug feels warm after use
- Breaker trips when the RV AC starts
- Scorch marks on the outlet face
- Low voltage reading inside the RV

RV Electrician in Camarillo: FAQs
Talk to a licensed electrician
Describe the problem and your ZIP. We will connect you with a local pro in Camarillo.
Call (815) 456-4349Do I need a 30 amp or 50 amp RV outlet?
Match the RV's plug. A three-prong TT-30 plug needs a 30 amp outlet. A four-prong 14-50 plug needs a 50 amp outlet.
Can I plug my RV into a dryer outlet?
No. Dryer outlets are wired for 240 volts in a way that does not match a 30 amp RV plug, and adapters risk damage.
Do I need a permit for an RV outlet in Camarillo?
Yes, a new circuit needs an electrical permit. The electrician pulls it.
