We run 4 50amps rv services and a 60 amp common bath with on demand water heater, 30amp drier on 125 amps. It is all per code , electrician designed and never has blown any of the breakers. It's used in the winter in yuma. So plenty of aircon gets used. It wouldn't be enough in the summer though.

Curious, is this the entire park electrical service or are there other sites with more sub panels all tied into a main service?

It was not really enforced here till 2008 even though it's been part of the nec for a very long time. (i guess when the 2008 nec came out requiring 4 wire feeds to separate structures our local inspectors decided they'd better enforce all the separate structure rules) edited to add info

nec 250.32?

250.32 pretty much sums it up

No park.

So apparently the wife does not want to spend the money right now, so this is not happening at the moment.

No we will not be getting in inspected or permitted. Right now it is taking weeks to months to get an inspection done.

We are just pulling power off an old farm house that still has current service. At some point we are likely to fix the house up and will require a compete electrical service up grade.

Thank you for all of the input.
