I've encountered reversed polarity three times (actually 4 if you count two pedestals in the same campground - Outwest Campground in Springtown, TX - don't stay there!). One of them was at the campground at Barksdale AFB. We got in late and got the last site. 30 amp was reversed but they had 50 amp so we used that with 50 to 30 adapter. When I mentioned it at the desk the next morning the girl told me that the head electrician on base was aware of it and said it was not a problem (what??) then she proceeded to tell me that the only people who ever complained about it were the ones with "those checker thingies".

If someone said that to me I'd have a hard time being polite. Amazing, it's such a simple fix.

Yes, to say the least I was NOT favorably impressed. She was implying that those of us who check the pedestals were nothing but a PITA.

Yeah, pretty ridiculous. They're basically saying to you, please hook up to a system that can damage your trailer because we don't want to spend the money to correct it.

I'd find another campground.
