Many rigs require a 50 amp connection and if all the 50 amp sites are taken by rigs that do not need the 50 amp service, those that do will have to go elsewhere. It is both good business by the park and common courtesy by other RVers to keep the 50 amp sites available for those who need it when the supply is limited.Mfar1234 wrote:
I've tried to get a lake/river 30AMP spot a few times in my Class A and found that some Campgrounds will restrict 50AMP units to 50AMP spaces .... Was VERY disappointed EACH time!!
Ran into a CG like that once. Nonsense! We turned around & went to the next CG.
It is a simple matter to have an idea of what needs what for power & not overload the post. The 3 major power hogs are the A/C, when the compressor is on, the microwave, which you hve control over & the waterheater, you can turn off if in doubt of overloading the 30A post.
With very careful power management we have gotten away with a 20A circuit & been able to use the A/C.
