Just had a sickening experience I feel compelled to share. It happened at Council Road RV Park in Oklahoma City. I just checked in and paid for a 4 night stay. The owner then immediately kicked me out of the park when he saw me using a multimeter to test the electrical panel at my site! (who doesn’t check park power before plugging in?)He then called the police (gave me no chance to explain myself) and threatened to have me arrested !I basically drove out under police escort- it was terrible and humiliating to be treated like a criminal.Owner CLAIMS my debit card was refunded, but I still haven’t seen the money. I’m over the money, and name calling, and at the point of warning others. I’ve posted brutal reviews on google and yelp. RV Park Reviews won’t post my review because I didn’t “stay overnight “ (how useless is that?). Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Who else can I tell my story to? Local Better Business Bureau? I fully expect to be attacked for posting this; if the owners side of the story is that important then CALL HIM or SEND HIM AN EMAIL. I would love to hear a reasonable version of this harassment!

I suspect there is another side to this story?

x2 your story just makes no sense, thrown out for checking the meter? possible but just hard to beleave. heard of people being refused a spot for age of there rv,

What voltage did you see? Maybe he's short on power. Maybe others have complained and he got ticked when someone else came along and started checking. No reason to be upset because a person checked the pedestal. Does he shoot people on sight for using an autoformer or having an EMS?You didn't use tools to open the pedestal did you? It does have 240 volts in there if it's a 50 amp site.

I'd like to hear the answer to AZ's question...what voltage did you see?

My comment would be that it doesn’t do an good to check it at the pedestal under no load. I have plug in volt meters plugged into each leg inside the RV and check it after I’m connected under a load; ac, etc.There’s no explaining some owners behavior.

Oklahoma City park owner called the police on me

I suppose that's the beauty of using a surge - EMS protector. Who would have thought the problem would not be with the power... but the person BEHIND the power!

Well, of course you can hit them up on Facebook, but you lose your anonymity.

It is a fishy story though, to the reader. Doesn't add up. And to lead your complaint with how the owner is a thief, and then finish it by saying they refunded the money but you can't confirm it yet. Very different things. Maybe should have waited a day to see if the refund comes through before calling him a thief.

The reviews of the park seem to contradict the OP's experience. Almost all the reviews that mention the staff state they are friendly and helpful. I think it is obvious there is more to this story. Not saying it didn't happen, but if it did, there was something that led up to the events described.

Didn't I read this same story in another forum about a month ago?

Did anyone record what was going on at the campsite? Today everyone seems to have some type of recorder with them at all times.
