    Dang I hope its a mistake. Could the rv have used a lot of electricity. If it did I hope they help you pay it.

    I doubt it was changed out. I remember the guy coming over and reading it too. We live out in the country and I'm home about 95% of the time. If it was changed out, I had no idea.

    When I saw the numbers, I lost my breath for a second...lol

    It has got to be a mistake. And I hope to God that damned RV would not use that much power, if so, they will have to take it elsewhere.
    BTW, I would not pay a penny out of my pocket that's for sure.

    Did you happen to go look at the numbers on the meter? There's got to be a mistake somewhere.....

    What makes me mad about the light company is you can tell them till you're blue in the face you didn't use that much and they tell me I stil have to pay it. When you do the same things every month it shouldn't jump way up.

    Im confused. Have they already hooked up the RV? I mean, it cant cost that much or theres no way campgrounds would have any electric hook up lol also, is it possible that you hooked up the plug wrong or messed it up somehow?
    Please let us know what they say, I'm very curious.

    No way it used $9000 worth! Ask them if they will cover your medical bills after the heart attack they gave you.

    My husband went and read the meter. It says 0368 that means it tripped at 9999 and started over. Which means that it should have read 596 used not what ever that outrageous number was.
