Tips from RVers
Water pressure variations: Pressure can vary significantly between campgrounds and even sites. "Water pressure was fine at our site," notes Michael L. about Muncie RV Resort.
Extension cord requirements: Power pedestals aren't always conveniently located at all Greentown area RV parks. "The pedestals are between sites, which aren't really close. You will need a long (30-40'?) extension cord suited to your amperage to reach the pedestal," advises Don H. about utility setups at Wabash City RV Park.
Adapter recommendations: Carry both 30-amp and 50-amp adapters even when your reservation specifies your power needs. "Our electrical pedestal had no 30amp receptacle. If you have a 30amp plug, bring a 50amp adapter. There are two 20amp outlets available," suggests Don H.
