with voltages up and down as you described I would guess that the neutral or the grounded conductor was the cause, at the pedestal or the campground system. On a 240 volt 4 wire system that you have, interruption in the neutral will cause all kind of weird voltages.
Maybe a loose neutral wire bolt in the pedestal? Mostly connected but not tight. Definitely qualified electrician material.
You might be able to "work" your connecting cable, box where wire enters the MH, pedestal outlet, pedestal, pedestal circuit breaker, pretty much anything you can put pressure on that might slightly move and monitor the "bad" side (with RV breakers off!). That might help zero in the location.
