Regulation of volts coming from the power pedestal?

Just a quick question: Does a campground have the ability to fix a 'high voltage' situation coming from their 50 amp shore power or is it out of their control (aka is it the power companies deal/problem)?

    What are you calling high?

    If you are on 50 amp you could be seeing a problem with your, or the pedestal neutral connection. This would cause you high voltage on one leg in your RV. This can be very very bad.


    Ok. So how do I test the neutral connection on both?
  • see edit comments above.

    It does sound like a connection problem, on your plug or the parks power.

    131 or 132 from one line.
