Unplug and fire up the gennie. Does everything work?
We had a problem this week here in our park. Power went out one morning. Completely. We checked all our stuff and couldn't find a problem. Had the maintenance guy come out. He plugged in a big honkin' thing to the pedestal and it glowed correctly so he told us something was wrong in our coach. He didn't open the power panel up or anything. We plugged back in, everything ran for about 1 minute, then out again. We bypassed our power management system so we could use some stuff, but our front A/C was out, electric side of the water heater and W/D would still not work. We called a mobile guy. In the meantime, we unplugged from the pole and ran the gennie. EVERYTHING worked. So when the mobile guy got there, he tried the transfer switch and it was all good. Pedestal tested okay. Plugged in again, ran for about a minute, then all shut down. THEN he tested the pedestal again and it showed one leg of the 50 Amp out. He went and got the maintenance guy who kept grumbling it was our equipment. But he pulled the panel. . . Wires all looked good, then he pulled the meter. Looks like it had been on fire. One leg of the base was corroded and deteriorated and then he found a really bad wire. So he replaced all that and all has been great since.
It's not always your equipment, but we checked it all first. That's why I say disconnect and fire up the gennie. If everything works, it could be the power itself.
