New Electrical Pedestal and wires

It never ends, we traveled to Roswell, New Mexico doing shopping for a weeks groceries and I purchased some wood to make a larger outside deck for sitting out.
(seven stops, grocery three and gasoline, hardware there was another one but can not remember what). It is a sixty mile trip, one way Walmart being on the north side of town is the far as we go then make our stops coming back.

Rain puddling in front

The park has been having problems with the electrical system. During the years we were away in Texas one section (lots one thru thirty-four) the system was changed to provide additional feed from the power company to our distribution system. Another time the lots eighty thru one hundred twenty was another project done about 2011. Now another project is “being done”, we have been in a six week hold waiting between companies to get a pole set scheduled. This project effects our lot. The project required the addition of a new distribution box and replacing the old box that as for about sixty lots. Originally the expected (designed) load was thirty amp use at each lot. But new RV’s are 50 Amp connection and many of the sheds on lots have electric added the load per lot is higher. The old distribution box has three hundred amp fuses and these are blowing during high loads. The system was put in service thirty-six years ago. There were new wires laid and new power pedestals but that is as far as they have completed. Nothing is connected up as of this writing.
