If we sell this place in a year or two, we may trade for a much nicer MH We have been checking them out when we can. How hard is it to find RV Resorts or Parks that have two plug ins for a 100 amp ...

Standard 50 amp service pedestals have a 50 amp outlet, a 30 amp outlet and a 15 or 20 amp duplex outlet (normal US home outlet with GFCI) You do not add together those outlets to get a different amperage rating. There may be a few boxes for home usage where there is an additional main breaker in the box that protects the entire circuit, but RV park wiring protects the main circuits at main breaker panels, not at the pedestals.
RV resorts (RV country club) in Indio (the new one) has 70 amp service pedestals. That’s the most I have seen. I would think it will get more common as people are starting to trailer Electric Vehicles. Nice to have an extra 16 amps available for overnight charging. Many portable EVSE’s are either 16 amp or setable to 16 amps.
And, as always mentioned by me, most parks are not going to welcome charging of electric vehicles. Park wiring is not designed for such high amperage, long term draws in addition to the power demands of the RVs. We will make you unplug your electrical vehicles should we find them plugged in and so will many other parks.
Yah I get that. It should be up to the discretion of the park owner who knows his system best. However. Many RV parks are adding themselves to the plugshare APP. So at least some feel they are capable of carrying an extra 12 or 16 amps or whatever.
