Camp grounds will come on board. Those who don’t will just fade away. Just like hotels adapting to new client expectations. Exercise rooms, continental breakfast, wifi, Pretty much every new hotel has destination chargers where we are. And they get used. Many start with just one and add as demand requires. I suspect campgrounds will do the same.
Brand new parks...probably but even there, you will see a lot of failures. The electrical code allows for under sizing based on the assumption not everyone will be maxing out their pedestal so upstream they are allowed to provide significantly less amperage capability at the main panel. I'm betting most owners don't have the understanding and will want to save money by putting in a smaller power feed that meets code. It may take a lot of failures before the code gets updated to account for this.
How many brand new parks are developed each year relative to the current parks? Our experience is not many new parks getting built or fully refurbished.
Hotels...have you ate one of the continental breakfasts? If that's the quality we can expect for these new campground electrical systems, it won't be pretty.
Will not be hard to have an RV Park charging mode that limits power if needed. However unless half the park turns over in the same day with 100% EV MHs I can't imagine there will be an issue. People forget the draw stops when vehicle is charged.
Low voltage on a hot afternoon? EV MH could easily stop charging or drawing ANY power until the issue is resolved after midnight and still get plenty of power to make a continental breakfast. This will enable an EV to actually reduce the issue for all the old MHs that have to draw max power continuous to run the two A/C units during the hot afternoon.
