You can do anything you want, subject to electrical codes, past the meter. If the current meter base is not conducive to adding services a new one is a couple of hundred bucks. An electrical permit would probably be required, but the actual work should be pretty easy. Personally, I would install a regular RV pedestal, which would give you 50/30/20 amp connections. You should be able to find one for less than $300.00 Lots more flexibility at very little additional cost.
Yes he could have a different meter base with breakers included installed
Provided local code allows this, and the utility company was willing to okay it
But that was not the original question
The answer to op is no
Are there things that can be done ? Yes
But it will need a complete change out. Of the meter housing
Not a simple attachment of an outlet
