Low voltage situation
Hi all. I'm spending an extended time with family helping take care of my elderly parents. (Actually dw does most of the "taking care of" but that's another story.) Any way, when we first arrived ...

This is how you are suppose to measure the 50A/30A/20A Service at the pedestal...
50AMP SERVICE
30A-20A/15A SERVICE
You might want to check both LEGS of the 50AMP and see if they both read the same AC VOLTAGE. You could have a NEUTRAL PROBLEM... i.e if one HOT leg reads 105VAC and the other HOT leg reads 135VAC.
Just make sure the 0VAC readings between NEUTRAl and GROUND are not much higher that .5VAC or so...
I also would not plug my RV TRAILER into this setup until I know those AC VOLTAGEs above are confirmed.
Your electrician should have wired up your pedesstal like shown here.
The 20A SERVICE is wired just like the 30A service except it will be fed by a 20AMP Circuit breaker.
