Hey,
I have seen RVs parked on vacant land and connected to power where the meter is on the pole.
Anyone can shed light about the process for this in NY?
Do you need a permit from the town? Do they need to sign off? cost? My land is pretty far from the road but I think I can connect to my neighbor who isn't so far.
But for sure I will need a few poles.

Permit yes, call the town.
For the cost it will vary to much. Next call the power company.
If power needs to go through someone else's property you will need to get them to sign a deeded right of way.
I would do it all underground if you can then just come up to a wood post with a meter pan and main pannel on it.

Contact power company, they will send an engineer out and that is the best time to ask any questions. Then can give you a cost on wire too for your run, if you go underground, sometimes a seperate contractor, they have recommendations of people who they work with.
Then you will need to pull a permit and install meter base and RV hookup. The specs will be in the power companys instructions ie pole side, depth, grounding rod placement and meter heigth. Probably online under new service. You will need to get the panel, know in advance if its above ground or underground before buying.
I pulled permit myself, was easy, signed off and they install sticker and then power company will hook you up.
I just went through this and had to run underground down the side of the road and had to get 2 landowners to sign off on easement. I have a transformer deep in my property and of course, they need to be able to access their equipment so just added one of their padlocks to my gate, ie padlocks locked to each other

Here in WI the power company wont even talk to me about 'possibilities'  until I get the permit, complete the p co. form and pay $50 (non-refundable if I decline their 'offer'); may be even more now, that was in 2019.
