100 amp service
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 ...

Do the all new Prevost/Newells etc electric coaches require 100 A service? Perhaps Mr Mark can chime in, I think his Prevost has a huge LI battery bank making his coach pretty much all electric.
FWIW - outside of winning the lottery - this is an issue I likely will never have to solve for.
Hello Way2roll!
Our coach, and as far as I know, all Liberty coaches are set-up with one 50 amp cord (100 amp which is 50 on each leg like all 50 amp coaches).
I do have to watch our power usage since we are all electric. We do have a diesel fired Espar furnace. Liberty does a good job balancing the legs so that I can use most items. With our 20K generator, I can run EVERYTHING plus I have a 30 amp connection for a 'buddy' coach if needed.
We do have 3 lithium Ion batteries that I can control the charging rate. I can pick from the following:
-220v/50amp
-110v/50amp
-110v/30amp
Currently I have the inverter/chargers (4 inverters) set on 110v/50amp as I'm in a huge storage garage with many other coaches. If all the coaches are 'sucking' power I didn't want the voltage to fall too much.
If we lose power and the batteries reach a 30% charge, I have the generator set to come on to recharge the batteries back to 100%. Once that is reached, the generator will cut off and start the process all over again until power is restored.
I did find out our house in CA has 200 amps. Since I had solar installed in March of 2017, we have not received a power bill and I've been paid back a little for 'over producing'. We have 63 roof panels.
Safe travels,
MM.
