keep away if in Penn Dutch country

Keep away from Pennsylvania Dutch campground in Bernville, Pa. They expanded their sites without expanding their capacity so we keep getting voltage readings below 104 volts on both lines of 50 amp service. Had to run the generator to use ac or anything else. Worse part is when we talk to the office they claimed they had no issues and we were free to change sites. We did and didn't matter after we found two other rigs had done the same. One tried 3 different sites with the same result. Just keep away.

We had this issue at Delaware Seashore State Park a couple weeks ago. The CG was packed and it seemed like the grid could not support the demand.

We have an inline fault protector and often detect this in private campgrounds. They all think it's our rig, until we show them we can run off our generator with no problem. Hmppf. Have experienced this though in state parks too.

Glad you are paying attention to the line voltage. Trying to run an air conditioner on 106 VAC or less WILL damage compressor coil windings and result in failure within two weeks.
