Low Voltage - Heat Wave
You might want to check your voltage if you are here in the east. My area dipped to 103 volts, that I observed, and it may have been lower. In a campground, with heavy loads, it is probably lower. ...

I'm curious. If one has a 30A RV, but pays for a 50A RV site and then uses a 50A-to-30A adapter on the 50A pedestal receptacle to power their rig ... do they still run the risk of experiencing 30A low voltage service on high usage days?
But there is always a risk. In 14 years with a 50A rig I've had low voltage on 50A one time running 3 A/Cs. It was a older CG, very hot day, all sites full and A/Cs running. Every 2 sites had a common hookup area, rigs parked in opposite directions, one site had a 30A pedestal and one had a 50A pedestal. It was in CA wine country so we bore the burden and went wine tasting. :B
