Low Voltage on One 50A Leg
In several campgrounds I've noticed that my 50A legs were "unbalanced". For example, unloaded, L1 at 105V and L2 at 117V.
What's causing this?

- Poor connection or unbalanced load. If this is at the pedestal you will need the park to fix it or move or use your voltage booster.
- Measured “unloaded” I would guess the campground power was low on that leg. Resistance can cause the voltage to be lower. But that would only occur if there as a load (current flow) thru that resistance. Did you try measuring voltage at the park pedestal receptacle?
- You need to confirm that this unbalance is at the power post and not something inside your RV.
The cause is likely imbalanced loads. To many 120VAC loads on one leg.
