toedtows said, “I agree. I think the "too much power for the campground infrastructure" argument is partially flawed.
It is correct in that if a person plugs in BOTH their RV and their EV, they are possibly putting more pull on the infrastructure than most other campers.
However, in that most campground infrastructures are ALREADY underpowered for campers' RV only usage, then the rare EV isn't really doing more than what is already happening on a holiday weekend in 100+ degree temps.
I think we can all agree that campground infrastructures are for the majority not able to handle the load for a campground at full capacity RV usage.
With more and more RVs using residential fridges, multiple ACs, multiple 120v appliances, etc, I doubt an EV only campsite is pulling more power than an RV only campsite. And, as most EVs are only capable of pulling small trailers, you aren't likely to see one campsite pulling power to charge the EV plus run 2+ ACs, 2 televisions, a microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, electric fireplace heater, electric blanket, etc. “
Really?? I’m sure you’ll have no problem explaining such a uber rational position to an angry neighbor or two who’s suddenly prevented from cooling off their RV - this is where ‘the rational’ gets introduced to the Mr irrational…
