For those advocating the installation of electric meters at each campsite, I have a tale to tell!
We stayed for three months at an RV park near Oceano, CA some years ago. They were in the process of installing meters for all the "long term" sites, then suddenly they stopped, and all the already installed meters were removed. It seems they didn't realize that if they were charging for electricity, the meters had to be checked for calibration, and calibrated if necessary. They had to send all the meters in to be certified, then they could install them. By the end of our stay, the meters still hadn't been installed.
Buying, certifying, and installing meters isn't exactly inexpensive. The ROI might be a long time!
