What kind of nuthouses are some of you staying in?
When I built the (small) park in Las PeƱas, I ran three six gauge wires to each pedestal, each featuring 50-amp ganged 240 breakers, and a duplex fed with a 20 amp site breaker and 10-gauge.
It's not reassuring reading to realize that many of you are staying in places seemingly built by Snuffy Smith. I can forgive Mexicans wiring things like they were strings of outdoor Christmas lights but you folks are Americans.
A friend of mine worked as caretaker for a campsite for a season. One of his projects was to wire up a new row of pedestals.
The boss gave him 14ga ROMEX to wire up 50A pedestals. When he questioned the boss, the boss was adamant that he use the 14ga ROMEX and to stop questioning him, lest he lose his job. Frankly I'm surprised he didn't quit, as he didn't need the money and he doesn't put up with *B*S* from anyone.
American campground owners are a special breed. They make a certain race of people stereotyped as being cheap look as generous as Andrew Carnegie.
