Install 50A Outlet at Electric Meter

[SkiSmuggs]

My electric meter is stand alone on a post close to my driveway where my 5th wheel is parked, near the left rear RV corner in my sig picture. I originally thought about having a 20a outlet installed there for my 30a RV for easy of plugging in and maybe running the AC on muggy days. I have no AC in the house and currently run the heaviest extension cord I could find to do this, but it is in harm's way where it can be run over by delivery trucks or lawn mowers. It occurred to me that I could probably have a 50a outlet installed at the meter instead for the incremental cost of parts and labor. Then I would use a 50a to 30a adapter for my current RV and have a 50a outlet for a future RV.
How big a deal is it to install an outlet at an electric meter? Obviously, the electric company will be involved to shut off power and reconnect, and I would provide the electrician with a 50a RV wiring diagram.

Yes it can be done - each installation is a bit different
Might want to add a few additional outlets when doing the job

I added to my "Power Pedestal / aka Meter Pedestal" a single 120/240Vac 50amp, a single 120Vac 30amp, and two 120Vac 20amp connections. Sure makes it easier when needing power and GREATLY reduces the chance of running over extension cords with the lawn mowers.

The meter is on a pedestal, but the panel is in the basement of my house 100' away. I think there is room for a small breaker box. And I think the meter socket can be replaced with a socket with breakers.

Most electrical meter pedestals have a customer service door which has a buss bar and fuses/breakers. You can tap into the pedestal here. The pedestal also has a sealed entrance for the power company's inlet hot feed. A decent electrician should be able to set you up for a reasonable cost.

Hard to tell from your description but it might be possible. Where is the electrical panel?

The receptacle will have to be fed from a panel.

Probably no need for the power company involvement. Any electrician could do the work as is. To be legal it will require a building/electrical permit.

I did my own wire feed with #6 wire and a double 50 amp breaker from my electrical panel outside and made my own pedestal to attach the 50 amp rv box too.

I suspect the electric company where I live would want more than just a 50 outlet installed. There are all sorts of rules that needs must be followed. If you find someone who will break those rules, then your home insurance may be invalid.
