    I don't really get what it is you are asking, or doing.

    How do the camper and post light share the circuit?
    Is there going to be a receptacle on the post for the camper?

    I will say, all that should be fine on a 20A circuit. 80 feet is not all that far.
    How big is the rectifier?
