? Cost of Electrician Question
About how much would be a reasonable cost for an electrician to run minimum 50amp service from pole into carport/RV trailer cover, distance about 100 feet? Just looking at installation of cable, 50...

There are many variables (besides local labor rates) as well that could dramatically affect the cost.
What's at the pole already--would this be a new service entrance, requiring connection to the electric company's grid, or a subpanel fed off an existing service drop/panel? Is the wire run overhead or underground? If underground, who is responsible for the excavation, and is there anything in the way (like a driveway or building)? Are materials included, or only the electrician's labor? What's permitting like in your area?
I'd guess that the costs of excavation/ditching (and filling), assuming an underground run, and probably also the cost of materials will exceed the electrician's labor taken strictly on its own.
