Electrical – How should grounding be handled for multiple RV pad feeds

electricalgrounding

Trailer pads were wired at my deer camp over 15 years ago. The main power pole has meter with 200 amp disconnect. From the meter a 3 wire service was run overhead to each pad. At the first breaker box it is grounded with ground rod. All the other breaker boxes just have the 3 wire service to them. All breaker boxes past the first one only have 1 ground neutral bar in them. The ground and neutral wires are all bonded to this single bar. I need add a new breaker box so I can add an RV 50 amp 4 wire plug in.

Should I separate the ground neutral wires in the new box and do I need to put in a ground rod?

NEC 551.76.C (RV and RV parks) Grounded conductor not to be used as equipment ground. To me that says you need to isolate the ground and neutral and will need a rod at your site.
