SDcamperowneroperator,
If I were an owner, I would immediately move to power meters on every site that could be remote read at the office.
Another perhaps easier system would be to have credit card readers on the meters at every site.
The wiring at campgrounds is already inadequate to the needs of many 50 amp RV's.
If every site has to have 12000 watts "on tap" then the supply transformer may not be up to the task.
This reminds me of campgrounds providing wifi, in some senses. Some campgrounds could not possibly offer video streaming at all sites. Their bandwidth feed was not capable of being upgraded.
The same may be true for electricity.
One not very satisfactory solution would be to limit vehicle charging to level 1 (1500 watts).
I hope you have had a good retirement so far--but I'm sure covid is....in the way.
