98% of the power poles down here have the cheapest contrator grade 15-amp receptacles. The very largest cities may have THHN wire but for the most part only stranded is available. 14-gauge conductor is common, 12 gauge is not normally used. It gets hysterical.
Over half of the receptacles I take apart have 4 or more wire strands frayed from the wire bundle under the attachment screws.
There are ZERO wire nuts in an RV park wire network. Plastic wire nuts like the Ideal are all but unknown. The "electricians" twist wire bunches together using lineman's pliers. Then chinese electrical tape is wrapped around the bundle. Even large trunk wires are spliced this way.
It's best to not go anywhere near the limit of the receptacle amperage.
To thwart abuse, response to site electrical problems is slow to make it sound kind. Ahorita, means a ten year old kid took off on a bicycle to locate the electricista who either is suffering from a hangover or busy at another job with no way to reach him. Be gentle with power consumption, especially if the park is busy.
If management hears an A/C you get unplugged so avoid A/C fan only.
There are exceptions to the above but they are not common.
Having EMS means no power much of the time.
Hope This Helps
