The cord plug is another likely candidate for failure.
The best way to know is to check the voltages and isolate the problem.
The best solution is to use a EMS like the PI HW50C. With it's display you can check the incoming voltage, amps, etc.
But most important IMHO is that a open or partially open 50A neutral can/will cause high smoke letting out damage to the electrical devices. The HW50C checks and doesn't connect and checks and disconnects when a problem is detected.
Every 50A RV should have one. I also had one experience with 160V on a 30A pedestal that occurred at night. RV power was shut off and I ran to the pedestal to unplug.
