Generator Size for Three RV's
Hello, We have a spot on our farm that we would like to setup for three campers. We are wondering if we could buy one generator to power all three. One is a 50 amp with two A/C's Two with 30 a...

You will also be running the road daily getting the diesel fuel for the genset haha... GENSETs are great for backup power but for primary power not really a good idea. Almost need two GENSETs in case one breaks down if you got folks depending on the power plant... Commercial Power is big time more cost effective...
I would think getting commercial power would be the overall best solution.
Of course when I watch the GOLD RUSH TV series where everthing is suppose to be running from generator power you never hear one running in the background. They just plug into any tree up there I think to get power..
You also should be checking with your county folks on what kind of rules and permits you will need to have. Sewer and Comercial Power all have their own legal things to go through to even get a permit for setting up RV's and mobile homes... One thing always seems to lead to another thing... Not like the old days anymore... I don't think our county here in VA would allow a semi-permanant setup for RV's (permanent sewer and commercial power setups)- would probably have to become a legal trailer park. I do have shore power cables running across my yard to the garage for 20AMP service and also on occasion use a Macerator to run black water down into the sewer septic tank vent pipe (you know that is probably not legal)...
I know we were looking at purchasing some land up against the mtns close by here and wanted to install electric power to a centralized post on the mtn lot with the idea of living in a RV or Mobile home while we worked on building something. That was not allowed by the local county rules...
Your noisy generator may evade the rights of some extinct WHITE OWL Bird community - who knows... Private property isn't the same as it was just 15 years ago in these times.
You probably should check out all circumstances before dumping a bunch of money in your idea here...
Just saying...
