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 ...

The park prefers to mitigate the issue.
Putting myself in the owner's shoes, I'd do my best to persuade these folks to be aware of their usage and do what they could to lessen it. I can't see turning away business without at least trying. Kick out the scofflaws only if you have to.
BY the time you reach the point of kicking out the scofflaws the damage has been done.
8 rigs or so have lost total power when the 200 amp sub panel breaker trips! hopefully someone was around to reset the sub panel breaker. If it happens in the middle of the night you have an even bigger issue.
I imagine this is why the CG mentioned prohibits 50 amp rigs on 30 amp sites. Trip the 200 amp breaker a few times and you learn your lesson.
Once you realize the 50 amp rigs are creating the issue you keep them off of 30 amp sites.
Maybe it's not all 50 amp rigs, that cause the issue but there is no way to identify the power hogs. But there is a way to prohibit them!..Just invoke a no 50's on a 30 restriction.
