After talking with Marc, it seems the campground has 2 sites running off of one 100 amp breaker at the main service panel. So with only 100 amps feeding 2 50 amp sites (remember that 50 amp service is actually 2 legs at 50 amp each for a total of 100 amps available) there could be a problem if both coaches are pulling 50 amps (100 amps total). That would certainly trip a breaker.
If it's hot and you're running 4 air conditioners, possibly cooking on the Gaggenau electric stove, maybe washing/drying clothes, plus other stuff and your neighbor is pulling a similar load then that 100 amp breaker at the main panel will be overloaded.
Now the question becomes will the wire handle a larger breaker? And will the campground be willing to do something about this?
