If you are renting a 30 amp site, you are entitled to use 30 amps…A/C, charging, whatever.
But are you entitled?
A short burst at 30amps to kick over the air/con compressor, sure.
A steady draw at 30amps for hours, I suspect the owner may not agree when the electric bill comes due or when they get complaints about the park having power outages.
Now, it may be that the owner needs to update their rules to clarify what is and is not allowed (and I've seen owners put out similar rules for things like outdoor fridges) but this is far outside the expected usage for a 30amp site. A stray EV charges once a month, probably never makes it onto their radar. This doesn't imply it's fair to abuse the system just that the owner may not be aware of the issue.
Unfortunately, as we move beyond early adopters, this is likely the attitude that will prevail leading to bad relations with EV owners. (Reisender on the other hand has indicated, he discusses with the owner and limits his use to not be one of the "entitled" EV owners).
