RV Park Electric Usage

[Josh Pratt]

Hello, 

I recently made the dive into the commercial world by purchasing my first RV park. It's a smaller park with 12 slots and a house. 

My question is about the amount of usage you typically see from RVs on a monthly basis?  I know this depends on the size of the trailers and if you're dealing with a 30/50.  Also, know the time of the year will make a difference.

I was just wondering is anyone has some numbers on usage and rates per kWh?

The average usage of power by an RV is around 20 kilowatt hours per day, which equals around 608 per month and 7,300 per year. Apply your local power rates to this number and you'll have the standard estimate. 

That being said, it is based on the time of year (peak cooling and heating season are obviously much, much higher than the moderate times of the year). It also is based on how well the RV is insulated and what temperature the residents keep the RV at.
