Utility Supply Group
Utility Supply Group sells the electrical gear that RV resorts, campgrounds, manufactured home and land-lease communities and marinas need at the site: metered and unmetered pedestals, surface-mounted boxes, shore power connections, replacement parts, wire and accessories.
Products are ordered from an online catalog with prices shown, and fulfillment runs through the Platt Electric Supply team, since USG is part of the Rexel USA family of companies. Alongside the catalog the company provides a custom electrical layout service: from a PDF site plan it returns a calculated load summary and voltage drop tables, a suggested circuit diagram, recommended panel sizes and locations, transformer sizing where needed, conductor sizes and approximate lengths, a detailed quotation with drawings, and liaison with the project's engineers, contractors and utility.
The company has supplied these industries for more than 25 years, tracks UL listings and National Electric Code changes on behalf of customers, and exhibits at industry events such as the Texas Association of Campground Owners conference and Outdoor Hospitality Association conventions. Through Rexel it has access to over 1.6 million products and ships from locations throughout North America. Order and support lines are open 8:30am to 5:00pm coast to coast.
USG supplies and designs; it does not install. Layouts are sized to NEC 551.71 through 551.81, but the site cites two different code editions on different pages, so confirm which edition a layout is drawn to and check it against the code the local authority has adopted.
Best for
Park owners and developers buying pedestals and service entrance equipment for new, expanded or upgraded RV, campground, marina or manufactured housing sites, who already have an electrician. It is a supplier and layout designer, not an installation contractor.

Common questions
- What is included in a Utility Supply Group electrical layout?
- The package includes a calculated load summary and voltage drop tables, a suggested circuit diagram, recommended panel sizes, configurations and locations, recommended transformer sizes if needed, conductor sizes and approximate lengths, a detailed quotation with associated drawings, and help liaising between engineers, contractors and utilities. Secondary electrical needs are determined from the site plan; primary needs may be possible once utility information is provided.
- What does USG need in order to prepare a layout?
- Contact and park details, a simple site plan in PDF with scale or dimensions, the type of pedestal and accessories wanted, additional loads and their locations such as office, restrooms, store, laundry, pumps and wells, incoming utility service and line voltages if known, and any trenching limitations such as trees, existing structures or other utility services.
- Who fulfills orders placed with USG?
- USG is part of the Rexel USA family of companies and of Platt Electric Supply, and the Platt team handles online purchases and fulfillment. That is why the brands Rexel, Platt and Gexpro appear when browsing the USG catalog.
