#6 wasn't big enough wire. At 30a that drops almost 6v
The goal is to drop less than 5% from the service point to the load.
You lost that much in one feeder.


I agree, and that was my problem. When I chose #6, I thought I was
allowing for the voltage drop, thinking I'd still have close to 115 volts at
the RV site. Going to #4 or bigger didn't make sense.
I didn't expect the Florida power to droop to 115 volts at the house
however when the weather started getting warmer and people started using
their air conditioners.

Here in MA, we apparently have decent power lines. Our house measures 123
vac.
