Why Vutility Is a Game-Changer for RV Park and Campground Owners

Smart campground electricity monitoring is transforming the way RV parks and campgrounds manage operational costs. In today’s competitive outdoor hospitality market, campground owners are constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency, increase profitability, and enhance the guest experience. One of the most overlooked areas with enormous cost-saving potential is electricity management. That’s where Vutility, a revolutionary smart electricity monitoring solution, steps in.

At Campground Consulting Group (CCG), we are proud to serve as an official ambassador of Vutility, connecting park operators and developers with tools that drive performance and profits. We believe in smart solutions that make a measurable impact—Vutility is one of those tools.


What Is Vutility?

Vutility provides real-time, revenue-grade electricity submetering through its patented HotDrop and VoltDrop devices. These compact, wireless sensors are transforming the way campgrounds and RV parks track energy usage—without the hassle of rewiring, ugly meters, or recurring data fees.

Unlike traditional submetering solutions that come with complex installations and ongoing subscription costs, Vutility offers:

  • Real-time, minute-by-minute energy data
  • No recurring monitoring fees—ever
  • Instant, tool-free installation
  • Scalable solutions for any size park
  • Revenue-grade accuracy (99.5%+)
  • Seamless integration with new or existing infrastructure

The Electricity Problem Most Campgrounds Ignore

Most RV parks include electricity in the nightly site rate—regardless of how much a guest consumes. But electricity usage varies widely by RV type and equipment. A basic pop-up trailer might use only a fraction of what a luxury motorhome with dual A/C units, a washer/dryer, and full appliances consumes.

Here’s what that means for your bottom line:

  • The average RV uses 20 kWh per day—about the same as an apartment.
  • During extreme weather, electricity usage skyrockets.
  • Larger rigs with high power demand can quietly eat into profits.

Without accurate, site-level monitoring, operators are left guessing—or absorbing the cost.


How Vutility Transforms RV Park Energy Management

Effortless Submetering

Vutility’s HotDrop installs in seconds and works with any pedestal or electric box—new or old. There’s no need to dig, rewire, or install external meters. This plug-and-play design makes Vutility the most flexible and low-maintenance submetering system in the market.

No Recurring Fees

Most smart metering companies charge monthly or annual fees for data access. Over time, these add up:

  • A 100-site RV park might spend $66,000+ in monitoring fees over 10 years
  • A 250-site park? Over $165,000+

Vutility eliminates these fees entirely. You get lifetime access to your electricity data at no additional cost. That’s what we call truly smart.

Real-Time, Revenue-Grade Accuracy

Vutility delivers up-to-the-minute usage data with 99.5%+ accuracy, meeting ANSI revenue-grade standards. This allows you to:

  • Bill guests fairly based on actual usage
  • Identify inefficiencies and high-draw areas
  • Make informed decisions to reduce energy waste and lower costs

Cleaner Aesthetic

Say goodbye to bulky, unattractive external meters. The HotDrop is sleek, discreet, and completely hidden inside your pedestal. Your campground stays clean and modern—without compromising functionality.
