Here's some food for thought. We have a 5th wheel with a 50 amp system. When we tried to make reservations at a KOA near Pittsburgh last summer, we were denied because they only had 30 Amp sites left when we were going to be in the Pittsburgh area. Even though we don't have a washer/dryer or a second air conditioner so there would be no extra draw than what a 30 Amp camper would pull, our camper is wired in case we were to add those things. We have a 30 Amp to 50 Amp dogbone to make the pedestal connection when necessary and explained all this to the campground owners, but they still would not let us book a site. From what I've been told, many KOA campgrounds are going to this policy and other campgrounds will likely follow this business model in the future.

One reason I was interested in this post, was that I had just inquired about a camp site. I asked if I could have a 50 amp site, my T/T is 30amp. I was told I could only have a 30amp site for my 30 amp T/T.

Maybe they want to save the 50 amps sites for those that need it?
