50 amp service
Sorry everyone: I guess we said it wrong in our question. All summer we have been plugged into 50 amp, but just today, I went to use microwave and it barely operates, same with toaster oven and coffee...

So let me ask this, with 50 amp service, should we be able to plug in microwave and coffe maker at the same time, when we do, they operate but voltage drops to about 100?
You should be able to run all of that and much more with no voltage drop.
What are you hooked up to?
Campground?
Have a lot of other campers come in?
I would not be so quick to think it is your problem, more a problem with the power network you are hooked up to.
They may have a 50 amp breaker, and plug, but the service may not be up to snuff.
Be careful as pointed out above.
Resistance appliances can take a drop in voltage (toaster), but electronics (computers, TVs, etc) hate it and you can damage them with low voltage.
