There are a ton of assumptions made by rvers and rv park owners that make this issue nothing but a finger pointing mess. We were at a full park on the Canada weekend Friday afternoon and the loop we were on kept blowing it's sub-panel breaker. We were using a 50to30amp dogbone and had the largest rv unit in the loop. As we don't like air-conditioning we only had a floor fan, residential fridge and microwave on standby using AC power while all the smaller unit's all had air conditioners running away using AC.
Guess who the manager came and talked to? Yes us? I very politely told her to go harass some other rver. She eventually accommodated us by moving us to a unused seasonal site in an adjacent loop on a different sub-panel breaker.
It should not come to anyones surprise that even after I moved the breaker on the first loop she had me on continued to trip even after I moved.
I strenuously object to the idea that just because my unit has a 50amp connection I am a power hog and should not be on 30amp pedestal's.
