Europe's RV's

Why is 220V called single phase when it has two phases?

That would be the same dilemma why 240V is called 220
European RV are not as big as US models and I don't think too many of them have microwaves or electric coffee makers or AC.
3 amp at 230V will support almost 700W, so it adequate for most.

We spent 2 months last summer(Switzerland,France,Austria) in 52 different campgrounds and what I observed re: RV's,

1) Never saw a unit with A/C although most or all had fans

2) There was no individual serviced sites but electricity was provided by a power pedestal for up to 8 sites.(maybe more or less). Shore cords were long usually on some sort of a wheel and would travel over different sites to reach the pedestal.

3) Never heard a generator or saw a generator.

4) Never saw people watching TV or heard music. Most people were out socializing around a table doing a lot of talking or at the local campground restaurant/bar. There were virtually no fires.
