This is what happens when the stupid park installs the receptacles upside down. The black box is our power controller, an expensive gizmo that normally hangs from its plug, then we plug our power cord into it. This prevents us from hooking up to a faulty power supply, bad grounds, etc., and protects against surges or brownouts. It either cuts off the power or sacrifices itself, depending on the event, so that the even more expensive circuitboards in the rig don’t commit hari-kari. Because it is pricey, I use the chain to lock it to the electrical post. Here, I had to use bungee cords to support the upside-down weight of the box, chain, etc. Idiots.

Good improvisation on the "support system" for the EMS, Jon! ;-)
Also fun are connections so close to the ground that one can't use the EMS at all, plugs that are burnt out or missing chunks, and box covers that serve as homes for black widow spiders with abdomens the size of grapes!
Or, "Uhhh...what do you mean, RVs don't need 220V!?" ;-)
