    OK. Good - all is well with the power coming in. Thanks for the info. Just be sure that you are looking at the pedestal voltages when all your appliances are plugged in.

    So now we assume the issue is inside the RV.

    First things first. Did you check and tighten all the 120v connections (at the panel where the power comes in; all the ground lugs; all the circuit breaker lugs), and if you must, all the connections on all the outlets you are having issues with. The outlets use push on type boxes so no lugs there to tighten, but certainly need to be sure the quality Amish workers at GD installed those outlets good.

    Hey @Jerryr, where'd you get that calculator? Googled for calculators but didn't see that one come up. I like that it's clear about the distance being entered is one-way. In others it isn't clear if you should enter the distance based on one direction or both. Would you consider that a good calculator for DC current and stranded wire?
