I want my own pedestal. Can I daisy chain off from the pedestal nearest my campsite?Can I plug into the 50 amp space and run it to my own pedestal with a 30amp and 20 amp outlets?I would be using a NEMA Box/Pedestal and running the wire in PVC pipe underground.I have a 30 amp TT and would like additional 20 amps for outside use.

NO.Not unless you can somehow guarantee that the pedestal you are bridging onto will never be used.Why are you not permanently parking at one of the existing spaces ??

“Can I daisy chain off from the pedestal nearest my campsite?”I would suggest a pro review your plan and if ok wire this, not you.

The short answer is No.Investigate how many pedestals are already on that "loop". You might get lucky (but you had better be a lottery winner).

What you're describing, if I'm understanding it, is not kosher per the NEC. An extension cord (which is what you're really talking about, assuming it's just plugging into the 50A receptacle on the other pedestal) is for temporary use, and so not put in conduit, buried underground, etc.Current NEC code requires a 20A outlet (maybe a 15A outlet, actually) at every site with electric service, besides any 30A or 50A receptacle. That's little help for an existing installation where you don't have one.

No, sorry but you cant plug into it and extend to another panel in that manner. What you could do is do away with the first RV panel and extend the feed for it to your new one. You would still need a junction box there at the original location. Another less desirable but legal thing you could do is open up the first box and using appropriate connections, extend the feed to the next panel. Obviously you could not use both locations to their fullest capacity at the same time but it could be done legally.Or you cold just use a long extension cord. I bought a 50' 30A extension cord for home use.
