Crack Down on 50 Amp Rigs Using 30 Amp Sites

Here's something to ponder. If you take your RV and book a site, any site with electricity. Aren't you paying to use the amount of electricity the pedestal provides? I'm reading in this thread that they expect you to use something less than the rated allowance so they can feed all of the sites within that loop or fed area. Seems to me that if I'm paying for 30A or 50A service, I should be allowed to use all of it for the length of my stay. Not 23A or 43A or whatever so everyone within the loop is happy. If this is the case, then they should market these sites as "this is a 30A site but you can only use 23A continuously and 30A momentarily". Campgrounds should have their sites wired so everyone can use all the power a site provides. My house has 150A service. If I turn on everything I have, I'm nowhere near popping my Main breaker. I'm popping individual breakers way before the Main would ever come into play. Shouldn't there be more than enough power to handle 30A of power use on a 30A site or 50A of power use on a 50A site? It seems that these campgrounds can't handle it so they add restrictions instead of upgrading things. That's a whole other topic but they aren't going broke. Especially these days where camping is so popular that these campground owners are making money like they're printing it themselves. Yes they have a lot of overhead but I've never seen a poor campground owner. Most of these campground owners can afford to upgrade things some to accommodate today's camping crowd.
