Electrical riddle
#1

"been in the same park for 2 months. Every time it gets hot and busy here I start busting breakers at the pole. Today The breaker  had tripped 3 times. I had reduced An ac each time. When it broke for the third time I turned the generator on and had no problems running everything. 30 mins later when I reset the breaker I got a large oooomph sound from the pole. And the 1 leg had totally melted.. I was on generator power at the time.  The park is unsure of why this is happening.  I suspect a large voltage drop in the line... After they replaced the plug. We had no power at the pole on the 20 30 0r 50 amp plugs and neither did the spot next to me. They went to the main breaker box and discovered every 2 campsites are on the same circuit.,at the mAin box the breaker has not tripped and still has power but there is none at the 2 poles. My guess is the wire has melted somewhere between the box and the 2 sites? is that possible?

Also wouldnt it be best to have each site on their own circuit? I also read that every other campsite should have leg1 and leg2 reversed . Seems many rv have more on line 1 than 2 . And that difference adds up?  Any way you guys are smarter than me. Ideas.
