Receptacles

RV Receptacles are specialized power outlets designed specifically for recreational vehicles (RVs). They are typically installed at RV campgrounds or parks, allowing RV owners to plug in their vehicles to access power. These receptacles come in different types, including 15A, 30A, and 50A, which represent the amount of electricity they can provide.

15A RV Receptacles are the most basic type, providing a limited amount of power suitable for charging small appliances or devices. It is designed with a standard 3-prong household plug. However, these receptacles may not provide enough power for larger RVs.

30A RV Receptacles are more powerful and are commonly found at RV parks. They are designed with a unique 3-prong plug, preventing non-RV devices from being plugged into the outlet. This type can supply adequate power for mid-sized RVs and multiple electrical appliances at once.

50A RV Receptacles are the most powerful option, designed to power large RVs with multiple air conditioning units and large electrical systems. They are typically four-pronged and deliver 240 volts of power.

Some RV receptacles are also equipped with covers to protect them from outdoor elements like water or debris. They are usually made from durable materials to withstand travel and frequent plugging and unplugging of power cords.
