First: Insulation will only work if water is flowing if not Insulation does not stop the transfer of heat, It mearly slows it down.. Even SUPER INSULATION only slows it down,, quite a lot, but it only slows it (They put a chick (Small chicken) in a box made with super insulation, Boiled the box on a TV ad, then opened the box and the chick was not only still alive but looked happy).
The issue here is this: The park is billing him for THEIR electrical use, and likely at a maked up rate.
When I check into a park and pay by the night (usually 12 bucks for water and power and dump station use) I expect to pay for electricity used to light the office, heat the "Facilities" and such... It's part of the 12 bucks.. I do not expect to get billed beyond the nightly fee for "Administrative" electrical use.
And for sure not for power used after I leave.
Now, as for the rate, which looked marked up to me and I am from S.E. Mi, I do not know Mi law on that. SOME states say the CG can not mark it up, only pass it on, Some do not.. But I do not know MICHIGAN law in this area.
Perhaps I shoudl research
I do have a copy of the Michigan Vehicle Code.. but it does not apply here.
