Same campground... and they do have 30 elsewhere in park...
Still have typically seen both 30/50 on 50A pedestals so far.

Also, I was ready an article awhile back that said as parks are renovating and improving they are going to 50 amp rather than 30 amp.

True - I am on one of the larger sites by request... A little extra room makes a big difference for a 3+ month stay.
Makes sense for the campground not to pay the expense for both outlets, and an additional breaker on each pedestal when upgrading... Adds up quickly.

So it is using 25 amps rather than 30 amps. Guess you'd have to watch your total load since your are drawing 5 amps less than a normal 30 amp service.

Actually have access to the full 50amps (110/120V) The limit is your coach's 30A main breaker... but you can run everything you normally would with no issue...
