RV Outlet NEC Code Question

Electrical questions are always pretty entertaining on the forum, usually because there are plenty of wrong answers, but this one is in a league of it's own.

I will tell you one thing for certain, I would never ridicule anyone on a forum simply because I did not agree with their opinion, esp. if I thought my opinion is superior because I happened to think I have more training, education, experience or qualifications. And I would never post any comments along with a note that I am a PE (ever...).

How many of you would expect to find pairs of massive feeder conductors, as in 3/4" diameter wires, bolted inside of a 50 Amp pedestal, with no breaker that size anywhere. How many understand a ten foot tap rule? RV park wiring has lots of things a typical residential electrician might find odd, or even wrong.

As I noted earlier, ALL of this depends on the local inspector, and they may be extremely competent, or clueless.

The OP's initial query is of a pretty basic & simple code nature. How are comments like the above and others you've made helpful in clarifying the OP's situation. I even commented that the OP could go to the Mike Holt electrical forum (where there are electricians, engineers, inspectors and other electrical experts) if he still had any doubts. How many homeowners even take out a permit to install an RV recept./pedestal? Not interested in debating the different methods for wire pulling and when to.
