Families, RV enthusiasts, tents, travel trailers, motor homes, and tiny homes all use RV parks and campgrounds as short-term or long-term shelters. When they do, they look for locations with their preferred amenities before deciding where to park their wheels and spend their dollars. Adding an RV power pedestal to the list of amenities your RV park or campground offers will expand your services, increase your appeal, and boost your income.

Whether your RV park or campground is a temporary or long-term location for your tenants, they expect benefits like:

  • Flexible, affordable living space
  • Scenic, countryside locations
  • Likeminded community members
  • Minimalism free of conventional restraints

More than anything else, the RV power source you choose must be trustworthy, reliable, and unfailingly safe! When you are ready to provide your campers with a consistent power source, we are here to help you do it. Although our design and engineering team has always focused on ease of use and low maintenance, our primary goal has always been safety. That’s why you can rely on us to meet your needs with safety guidelines that exceed typical industry standards and build trust, convenience, and flexibility right into our products so no matter which one you choose, you get the power you need backed by a company that keeps your ever-evolving electrical needs in mind with each product design.

Start equipping your RV park or campground for success by choosing the HyPower RV power pedestal that fits your specific needs. Keep reading for more information on the power solution models we have available.

PowerPort RV

The HyPower PowerPort RV was designed to meet the exacting standards of your facility and tenants. Its technological advances include UL certification, ADA compliance, and it meets or exceeds all NEC and NFPA requirements. Its winning features include:

  • Lockable hinged door with standard padlock
  • Choice of a clear, amber, or blue lens
  • Brass connectors and stainless-steel screws for increased stability
  • Optional PowerSnap Hurricane Weather Base (Perfect for RV Parks on or near water. You can quickly remove the head of the PowerPort and store it until water levels return to normal. This allows you to open up ahead of the competition.)

If your facility is not operational year-round, the head easily and conveniently snaps off for safe storage during inclement weather. One more business-building advantage – when you choose this RV power pedestal for your location, you can also customize it with a custom logo that helps increase visibility and marketing for your camping facility.

EnergyMate RV

The HyPower EnergyMate RV packs an incredible array of features into its diminutive size. It puts the full-on power you need right where you need it in a small, unobtrusive package. It fits any location, will deliver 120 amperes or power, and is sturdily and dependably built to last. Its winning features include:

  • Industry-leading, PowerSnap panel technology
  • Injection-molded body with UV protection
  • 120 amperes of power with separation of high and low voltage
  • Field wiring terminals to 2 AWG wire

Like the PowerPort RV, the EnergyMate RV is also UL certified, ADA compliant, and meets or exceeds all NEC and NFPA requirements. It is available with mounting options, custom logo options, and metering for water and electric utilities.

  • Low maintenance time and costs

When we say low maintenance, we mean it. No matter which power pedestal you choose, you will be able to swap a panel in just five minutes – no rewiring or costly electrician needed. We build low maintenance into our products because we know having an unreliable power source at your RV park or campground is as bad (or worse!) than not having one at all. An unreliable power source, or one that causes power surges, could potentially cause damage to your client’s RVs and campers. You can eliminate these worries for yourself and for your campers by trusting your need for power to our reliable power solution products.

At HyPower, we provide a comprehensive, industry-leading, high-quality advantage that makes a difference to your customers and sets your facility head and shoulders above your competitors. Parks and campgrounds across the country are choosing our RV power pedestal solutions to upgrade their facilities and help their customers power their air conditioning, entertainment, refrigeration, and other electrical needs.

Because the power pedestal you install will see repeated use, frequent plugging in and unplugging, and lots of surges and spikes, it must be sturdy, robust, and secure. It has to withstand the demands put on it without adding to your time, energy, and maintenance costs. It must meet all these demands without becoming a source of frustration – for you or for your campers.

Your tenants will appreciate and respect the opportunity to connect and commune with nature, they also want dependable, reliable power sources they can connect to. When you provide HyPower products that make camping life easier, current tenants will keep coming back to you year after year. Even better, they will spread the word among fellow RVers and help draw business to your RV park or campground.

Why a Marina Power Pedestal?

by

For many boaters, seeing a receptacle for shore power on a post or wall is still the norm as marinas look to do business like they always have or initially try to save a few dollars.  Boaters are our customers and this way of doing business is counterproductive to creating a professional, profitable environment, and in many cases, costs much more in the long-term.

Why make the investment in marina power pedestals when developing, expanding, or upgrading your marina?

When customers visit marinas they are looking for a home away from home in addition to a place to store their second largest investments.  How do we convince customers to trust us with such a large part of their lives?  I believe we should approach this just like any other seller of consumer products or services: by creating the best package possible to convince potential boaters to choose us and current customers to stay with us.

This requires looking at our operations, from our people and facilities to the appearance and amenities of the marinas.  Just like when they chose a neighborhood to live in, your potential customers have checklists of what they are looking for in order to make the decision on where to build their lives on the water.  Marine power pedestals are an important part of creating a professional appearance within a safe environment that can set us apart from the competition.

Professionalism

A dock power pedestal adds to the services offered in the marina and the appearance creates an atmosphere of quality, making it more likely that the customers will select you as their destination of choice.  Being this ideal location fills slips and typically creates the demand so that an owner can increase revenues with slip rentals and traffic for other services, such as ship stores and fuel dock sales.  It is important to never underestimate the power of first impressions, and our pedestal leaves a powerful, resounding one.

Safety

The safety of our customers is a shared responsibility.  Marina power pedestals are designed for the specific use of safely supplying power to your customers’ boats.  Typically, shore power pedestals from manufacturers like HyPower, Eaton, Accmar, and Ensign are certified compliant to meet industry standards like UL, and their design allows for easy use and maintenance.  This safe environment is critical for the peace of mind that customers desire, in addition to potentially reducing your liability and insurance rates.

Operational Branding

Once in the marina, access to breakers, the ability to easily get cords in and out, lighting, water, and other convenience options are all found in a marina power pedestal, which greatly increases customer satisfaction.  This leads to long-term customers and more word-of-mouth advertising.  Dock power pedestals are also easier to service, allowing you to manage cost-effective inspections and run better maintenance on the pedestals.

An added benefit to the sense of professionalism that marina power pedestals create is how your employees conduct themselves.  Typically, the pedestal improvement makes their jobs easier and the operation run smoother overall, thus allowing for higher service expectations.  All of this is a byproduct of an organization with cost and service efficiencies from sales and maintenance to operations and management.

Why buy or upgrade to marina power pedestals?

Simply put, marina power and light pedestals make your life as an owner easier and business more profitable in the long-term, while improving the customer experience and workplace environment.  This is a real return on investment that you can feel every day you own and operate your marina.
