Looking at a 30 amp 5er
OK...so now we are needing to know about 30 vs 50 amps. I found a small 5er nearby that has 30 amp service. I am assuming that the rest that we have viewed all have 50 amps. What does 30 vs 50 me...

I have a 30A 5er. Only time I have any issues with 30A is when the portable heater, coffee pot, hair dryer and micro need to be run at the same time. I can run two at once but not 3. Never really an issue. I only have one AC and being in Oregon I hardly use it. If you're 5th wheel has two ACs it should have 50A service.
One thing I could do but have not done, is to run a separate power cord to the parks power pole and use that for the small elec heater. Then I could pretty much run everything.
I don't really see it as an issue myself. 50A is a bonus but wouldn't be a specific thing I would ever base a decision on when looking. Like others have mentioned, floor plan is key. Power can be worked with. You're stuck with the floor plan. I'm more concerned about the 5th wheels CCC and tank sizes. Those are things that you can't change.
What is CCC? And please tell me more about the CG power pole. Is there one at every site? Is it just a 110 power plug?
