Electrical damage to 5th wheel at Campground

On a recent stay, upon setting up, I heard a sound - I listened for a minute - nothing, but soon I loss my back A/C and I ran and turned off my front A/C. My husband went to the office and the owner called the electrician and said it's site 35 again. Again? We had paid for 50 amp service. Long story, short. My refrigerator nor my microwave no longer works and they say because they have a "hold harmless" clause on the email they sent for confirmation, they are not responsible. I would like your views and help.

  • If they have an ongoing issue with that site and keep letting RV's get damaged, their "clause" is useless to them.
    Continuing to let a problem damage other peoples property is gross negligence and YOU cannot sign that responsibility away.

    There's been so many of these posts lately.
    We're geting a 50A RV this week and I will not plug into a CG 50A without an EMS!

    I think that is a little late now.

    You're about 50 miles north of me. I really would like to know.
  • Only a lawyer could tell you for sure if you might have a case due to site 35 having a "history". Any thing else is pure speculation.
  • Darsben1 is right. Report this to your insurance company and read what you are asked to sign. How will you prove anyone said "it's site 35 again?" How was your RV electrically protected?
  • What does the hold harmless clause state?
    CAll your insurance company get your rig repaired and let the owner of the CG and your insurance figure it out.
