If you run it from the power pole and have to install a separate meter you may incur a minimum monthly charge on that meter that will be greater than the amount of electricity you use for the RV. Try running it from an existing service if possible even if the distance might be longer. Maybe more up front cost but cheaper over time than paying the minimum rate on a separate meter.
like NEO and others have said, you have to determine what you are dealing with. i live out in the boonies and love some of the freedoms that go with it. When the elec company (REA) installed my drop on the pole, I asked them if they needed to be contacted for hooking up service wires to the drop. They informed me that their job was to put my drop in and from there on it was not their job. i have since added a 100 amp service to the barn off the drop and another 110 run for a sump pump in a low spot by the drive. I am not advocating doing it yourself. however depending on you location and what you want or have to hook the RV outlet to will determine the work to be done.
Also i know that a bunch of folks will get the wet noodle out to beat me with but in some locals like where i am at, there is no requirement to run conduit, just run under ground approved wire and let her rip tader chip.
