Has anyone ever accomplished anything by reporting pedestal problems to the CG?
We were at a Thousand Trails CG last year and our EMS shut down on low voltage AND open ground at the same time. Their general purpose handyman got his voltmeter out and insisted nothing was wrong. He said he had replaced the receptacle recently and it couldn't possibly be a problem. Here I am an EE (retired) trying to explain how and why it was a problem. I went to the office and the manager she said she saw some electrical work being done and saw them put bare wires in a trench. She said head office simply won't approve money to fix things.
CGs all too often don't have licensed electricians doing the work. The next time it happens, I might advise the local AHJ or state chief electrical inspector and see what happens.
