Most public federal and state, and a lot of private campgrounds, have been operating on electrical systems that were installed 20,30 or more years ago. There is no shortage of posts here, there, and on RV boards or websites in general where you need this dogbone, an autoformer, or whatever to even be able to turn on part of what you have in your rig. Now all of these places are going to upgrade systems, at an astronomical cost, so you can charge up the motorhome that you can not currently run all 3 air conditioners, that runs on fossil fuel to get from point A to B, and do it on electricity?
OK.
Some of you folks have lost it.
Well, like any business they will meet the demands of their clients or go out of business. Let’s say in 10 years 3 percent of Motorhomes are Electric. Those customers will go to RV parks that cater to their needs. An RV park doesn’t need to upgrade their whole campground, just maybe 5 percent. It’s no different than a Hotel now. If you are a business class hotel in San Franciso or Seattle or Vancouver or Amsterdam or Berlin or Oslo or wherever, and you don’t have destination charging for EV’s you are dealing with a continuously decreasing client base. Most of us who own EV’s won’t even consider a Hotel unless it shows up on the EV hotel app. That’s kinda why so many hotels are adding destination charge facilities.
Just sayin. Businesses will adapt or die.
Remember the introduction of cable TV?
Those screaming neons on the highways saying their hotel-motel has cable. Those who don't got skipped by potential customers?
And now, it's free Wifi. Also now standard as water and shore power on private campsites.
Not hard to imagine that next will be superchargers.
