Becareful when planning to charge at RV Campgrounds.

My county has a permit requirement but no inspections. The county east of mine doesn't even have permit requirements. Build what you want, when you want, how you want.

Permits in many areas serve mainly a single purpose, to increase the value of your property with the "improvements" done, so now you have the privilege of paying additional real estate tax, it's especially true with "proposition 2 1/2" that limits what your town can tax you in Massachusetts.

With FlasherZ there, I'm shocked you guys didn't wire up a new 10-50 using a single leg from two different outlets (assuming you could find two out of phase.) :smile:

Was I the only one that had a momentary vision of FlasherZ and Cinergi teaming up for a "this broken outlet" road show?

Just as long as I don't have to be the one with the thick Norm Abram accent.

My county has a permit requirement but no inspections.

Ontario, Canada has provincial electrical safety standards (based on the Canadian Electrical Code) which include the requirement for permits on any electrical work. We have the concept of "pre-authorized" electricians whose work is not subject to compulsory inspections, but may be spot-checked. This, of course, does not stop people from just going ahead on their own without a permit, and campgrounds seem to be notorious for this. Interestingly, the Ontario code was recently amended with a bunch of "special" requirements for electric vehicle infrastructure, including compulsory inspections for any EV-related wiring.

Back to the OP: Liz G, we live in Colorado and have a spare 14-50 outlet in the garage. It's not as scenic as a KOA, though. :wink:

This is true for many states in the US as well.
