Just hooked up in campsite, 50 amp service, post voltage reads 118 volts, in my coach reads 111 volts. The post reads 118 on both leads. Any ideas. Thanks.

Meter wrong.

111 VAC is acceptable but the loss is most likely in the CG post with corroded or pitted contacts.

Let everything run for 10 or 20 minutes then feel if your power cable is getting hot at at the CG post if it is getting warm/hot the voltage will go down to an unacceptable level(108VAC)in the coach.

Measured both places with same meter? Meters have a tolerance and may be the factor. That difference would not worry me.

Measured with the same meter at each place? WH on? 118 is fine. 111.. not so fine, but workable.

With the AC running the outlets in my stick house read 116 volts.
It is hot in Chicagoland!
With nothing ? ON in the MH,your charger may use 15 amps when you first plug in.
Your findings sound normal to me on a weak line.

What is running in th coach. Appears to be borderline low voltage at post anyway. Turn off everything in coach and read again. Should come up to 120 or so. If you are in the heat and several are camping you will get this and it does need to be monitored. If not this then I have no idea. Larry
