IMO for what it is worth .. there is NO cheater 50 amp service

if you get full 'amperage' for your RV, (which does NOT need 240v), then you get what you pay for
the RV park is NOT an electric vehicle charging station, unless they advertise such amenities

get a 'tow trailer' for the 'PEV' and it becomes a toad
