Some campground owners have been around the block enough times to see almost everything related to RVs. If you can chat with one, they can be a wealth of information.
We recently saw a video on Facebook from a content creator interviewing the owner of a local campground. In the video, they reveal the most common issue they see with RVs in their campground.
Steve Puvalowski is a certified RV inspector and technician. He and his wife, Erika, are full-time RVers who create videos and content to educate others about RVing.

Microwaves and air conditioners require a tremendous amount of energy. An RV air conditioner can use upwards of 2,400 watts, 66% of your available electrical capacity. This can make preparing meals challenging.
