UPDATE
I took her to a repair shop I trust yesterday. Got a call later in the day that they were 99% sure they found the problem. Two of the house batteries were dead or close to it.

All he did was to replace the four 12v batteries with four 6v GC-2s and everything works fine.
I watched as the park’s service guy checked voltage on both legs of the pedestal last week so it wasn’t a park issue. I hereby give up my electrical guru lapel pin.
