Very True! And if you don't learn the lesson the first time, life will keep trying to teach you over and over again until you get it right! We pretty much had to repair all the conduit we tried to cross last weekend because we didn't leave the ditch open in the right place!
Disclaimer: We are not licensed electricians and this is our opinion based on our experience. Please check and work with a licensed electrician in your area for guidance. Our Opinion: Length of total loop, wire size, wire type and pedestal format matter when considering the answer to your question. Having said this, 5 RV pads on a loop is fairly common implementation, especially to save $$ on labor, trenching and material costs. The risk of course is the last (or last 2) RV pad(s) on the loop could experience a significant voltage drop causing damage to their RV appliances when the looped electrical infrastructure is under stress. We like to put each RV pad on it's own dedicated circuit (100A in our case) within 200' of the distribution panel. Overkill? Yes. To us, it's worth it to minimize potential issues down the road. We only need to shutdown that one circuit to do maintenance on the RV site experiencing issues. We also have centrally metered power usage options available that can go directly into the 200A distribution panel to monitor each RV site. Our RV Pedestals have space for 4 more breakers and we could expand them for additional uses in the future.
I admire that you take things in such easy stride and just keep going! Great video!
Liked your lessons learned video. Enjoy your updates

Sounds expensive ! The school of hard knocks. Good to know building tips.
It's all a process! Thank you for your support!
Plastic sandwich bag works good for string line
We'll have to try that method... next time..... In the afternoon, after eating lunch or course!
Maybe I have missed it in another video but i haven't heard anything on septic? Are you installing septic?
We did a few videos on septic! Here is a playlist for you: ruclips.net/video/PU3wV8-4qio/видео.html
