Electric service at campgrounds
Our 5'r is a 30 amp unit. We would like to book a site at one of our state parks that we really like. The site is designated as supporting 50 amp service. Can we still use this site or are the plug...

Most all parks that advertise 50amps use a standard RV Pedestal. It has a 30 amp connection, a 50 amp connection and a 15 amp connection. Yes, each one has it's own configuration of plugs.
Sometimes the 30 amp connection is worn from use, so it is a good idea to carry an adapter that plugs into the 50 amp at the pedestal and has a 30 amp plug at the trailer end. Like this one: Adapter
Also when plugging in and un-plugging it is a very good idea to shut the circuit breakers off at the pedestal to prevent arcing.
Hope this helps.
