How about having a CG opened & power turned on just for you?
2008, Federl Dam, Leech Lake COE, MN. Stopped in not knowing they were not open for season yet. On our way to Alaska. Nothing else in the area was open either & a late season snowstorm was bearing down on the area that weekend.
No options.
Water in the CG was not turned on yet. No problem. Our tank was full. They turned the power on in a loop for us, put us in a double site with 50A & said "Bye Bye. See you Monday if you can't get out before. If you can, close & lock the gate behind you."
Well,it snowed & snowed. We had 3 nights & did not see another person till Monday when the CG staff returned.
Won't ever forget that weekend. Never did need the furnace. 2 built in electric heaters going plus a little 1200W one kept things toasty.
