Rv camp service question

[jetlag]

I installed a double meter socket in an rv park where the tennents pay for their own power.The socket was pole mounted and the owner wanted the rv service boxes mounted 40 ft away on a pedestal fed from underground feeder. He had talked to the ahj and at the time the ahj wasnt sure if he needed to install disconnects on the pole with the meter sockets. The ahj was suppose to call him back but didnt. The morning of the job I couldnt get thru to the ahj before his leave out time for the day. I installed a 100 a outside panel below each side of the meter and fed the lines going out from a 60 amp breaker. I bonded the neutral and ground in each box. I used 4 wire to fed each pedestall and left the neutral isolated in the rv boxes. The boxes contain a 50a breaker for the 50 a recept. and a 20 a for a 120 gfci rec. Does any one see a prob with the way I installed the service disconnects. I cant imagine why ahj would not want the disc. What if camper backed into feeder going down pole on unprotected circuit. Sorry this so long was a lot to explain.I cant call for inspection till mon.

On first read, I don't see a thing wrong with the way you completed the job. It's SOP in this area.
As far a going directly to the RV pedestal, although I've not seen that, if the ped. is rated as serice equipment, I don' see where it would be a violation. I know they even make that equipment with meter sockets as an integral part.
Although I agree with you "what if" argument, we can always expamd those to "what if" the RV hit your service pole, etc.

I was beginning to think I wasnt going to get any replies. I have seen some services in a mobile home park that ran directly to the pedestal . The services are getting old and the mains are going out. I have cut a few pc seals myself to pull the meter and replace the main rather than the customer being without power several days. There are some abandoned peds in the park and I can always find a used main that fits. And yes both boxes at the rv park are rated as service with the bonding jumper installed
