Park Power Low

Had another real hot couple of days with no extra rv's around. Power dipped low again. Others are right, campground wiring sucks. Owner says he has talked to power company but I never walked over and looked at park panel to see if these sites are all individual back to main panel or tied together. Nothing I can do about it, it's the only decent campground to stay at when visiting granddaughter. Think I will skip the middle of summer and plan for spring or fall. Sitting in a different place down the road, still 95 deg, but no power issues at all. Showing around 118 on both legs, both ac's cranking, and no hickups running microwave with ac unit on.

Either that, or show up and run a generator all day and tell them that you'll shut it off when they get their power up to snuff. :-) If you =do= go to another park, tell the owner exactly =why= you're moving and don't be afraid to post on park review sites.

I believe in my manual Progressive Dynamics shuts down at 106

Egad you need a second Autoformer!

105 outside and 112 inside should not be tripping power off.

Heck 96 outside and 105 inside should not trip power off.

Last time we had our EMS shut down, the maintenance man literally walked over with a light bulb, plugged it in to the pedestal and said "whaddaya mean? you got power."

ugh.

Question did you connect as follows

Park--PD50--Autoforemner--RV

If so change it to

Park--Autformer---PD50---RV.

park - autoformer/gen - pd50 - rv

Momentum RV nailed it. We had this issue at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon a few weekends ago. Was told since we were in the old loop it is the way it is. Even at 6am my PD EMS would **** down. Time for the State Parks to spend some $$ and fix the problem

Well, I have a theory that some may not like but, there was a 45' rv parked in this group of 4 supreme sites. The 45' behemoth left today and what do you know, no power issues at all. I suspect the 3 roof airs, washer, dryer, who knows what else dragged us all down. This is the second time that I was lucky enough to be parked next to a 45' rv and had power issues at this park. Soon as they left, everything is back fine and dandy.
I was fortunate enough to have a pd50 surge system installed that protected me from under-voltage but the other folks probably didn't have a clue as to the damage they were incurring with the low voltage.

Same result if 2 of the other rigs had left.

CG Main AC System not adequate......group sites AC Feed not adequate.
