charging an EV at a campground

Yeah, it sounds bad doesn't it? But are the arguments that someone with an EV shouldn't be allowed to charge at a campground because they use "too much" power but an RV can pull that much or more any better? How about the RV staying for a week that runs all they can on the 50amp plug and then runs a 20amp extension cord to the pedestal to run even more every day. Aren't they overloading the system as much or more than someone who just stayed 12-24 hours to charge their EV?

Again, if the complaint is the power consumption then RVers who use excessive power should also be called out.

So can we at least agree that the original ‘design intent’ of the CG pedestal was to power RV appliances, thus pre-dates EV charging, and is it reasonable to simultaneously charge an EV while also suppling an RV - Really?… And how many same-time incidences of this must occur before exceeding CG supply limits??… Are we to assume that this trend is sustainable without adding to ($$) CG infrastructure ??…Just some food for thought only, as for the most part I’ll be somewhat unaffected (I can almost hear, PLEASE SHUT UP, it’s not our problem!!)…
