Crack Down on 50 Amp Rigs Using 30 Amp Sites
I don't know how long this has been going on but I learned today that some RV parks including the Washington/Pittsbugh KOA I had booked has a policy that if your rig has 50 amp service, you can't use ...

Here's a real world example that I posted years ago.
And 30A pedestal circuits use a similar limit and they are more likely to be overloaded with more thirsty 50A rigs.
A different example: When I added up all of the CBs in my home panel vs the panel and main CB rating it worked out to 45%. The dual 240V CBs alone exceeded the panel rating
As an example of a newer well planned campground which had a 100KVA transformer supplying 18 sites. The average power would be 100/18 = 5.55KVA/site. Or 5.55KVA/240V = 23A at 240V. Or 46A at 120V for a 50A pedestal. That’s 46% of the 50A pedestal rating. That’s actually a good design as the chance of 18 rigs drawing 100KVA is extremely low.
