Could be a problem with distrobution. Is anyone else in the same RV park area having issues?
You need to know the actual voltage being provided, as others have mentioned. The appliances will have a tolerance for a low/high voltage range and strange things can happen when the voltage provided falls outside of this range and the appliance's rated operating amperage tries to compensate.
The voltage supplied (120 volts standard) does not provide "amperage". The presence of amperage (current) is determined by the "load" or draw of the appliances plugged in to the circuit which will be rated for capacity (30 amp for instance).
Please let us know what the voltage reading is at the post, if possible.
