Paying for electricity w/ 50 amp
Now that I understand the trade-offs for 30 vs 50 amp service: When you stay in a campground that offers both, can you choose to just use 30 amp or does the campground require that you pay for 50 a...

Electric is expensive to supply and the more an RV unit uses the more expense is heaped on the CG costs of opperation. It's only right for RV units with 2 A/C's or 50 amp requirements/users/plugged into to pay their own way as it should be. 50 amp users have leeched their cheap way for years by sponging off CG's and it's way past time for it to stop. One may also notice that the 50 amp RV's need or get the larger sites and they don't expect to pay more? Give me a break!
We have had several very large MH's and a 3 axle big Carriage 5th wheel that all had 50 amp cords but never felt we shouldn't pay for what we used or were hooked up to and gladly did. Being a sponge and sucking from those who could least afford it is not very becoming or something to be proud of and rather ugly! Cheap, cheap, cheap!
We want any good CG to be quite profitable as they won't be around if they are not! What good will a closed CG be anyway?
Do you really think a second AC unit will use $5 per day average? NO WAY!
TT in Palm Springs has about 1/2 30A and 1/2 50A they do not charge extra for 50A.. It is just a way for these parks to over charge people. MOST rv's made today are 50A so the old Campgrounds should be upgrading to meet the masses needs. These 30A pedestals are all falling apart, they have paid for them selves now start upgrading!
