Kwh Rates For Season Campers, Florida camp KWH rates Options

[long haul]

Lately I have noticed many RV parks in Florida charging monthly campers a rate for electric KWH use that is higher then the local power providers. This is not really legal in Florida from my limited knowledge or research. A Google scan led me only to find this about the Florida rules - Florida Administrative Code Rule 25-6.049(6)(b). I do not know legal matters at all but was happy to find there is at least some info about protecting Florida RV monthly campers. Trouble is many RV camps I have called regarding their electric rates do charge more then the local utility and most managers’ say they don’t know who establishes their camps KWH rate. One camp manager said that the KWH charge is also water and sewer bill that the park divides by the number of monthly campers and that bill is what is then given as their Electric KWH rate bill. One Florida RV camp charged 16 cent per KWH rate to the RV camper but the local utility told me that the camp was charged a business rate including fuel surcharge etc never more then 13 cents KWH. My guess is a typical RV in a hot Spring/Sumer in Florida can expect a usage of about 850Kwh per month with one AC unit and no washer dryer use. Nice business model for hidden profits. Why don’t these camps just raise the camp site rate so we all know what we are getting for our money in place of an unknown questionable electric bill at the end of a monthly stay?

What have other long term/full time Rvers seen across our great nation i.e. is this the new norm to nickel and dime RVers with KWH charges?

We are in Texas and, from what we were told, it is a federal law that any CG can legally add administrative costs to the electric rates that they charge RV'ers. We were given this information directly from the electric company CEO. If this information is accurate then any FL law would be over-ruled by a federal law.

Call me crazy, but this just sounds like another example of the US Government over extending their "assumptions" about the legality of the constitution (my understanding is the federal govt is NOT supposed to usurp the laws of each state)...Like I said, call me crazy...LOL!
