When you say that you moved the neutral to a different buss, what did you mean?
In a residential structure, the neutral and the ground are usually tied together in the electrical panel. With an RV, the neutral and ground are kept separate in the electrical panel.
I was surprised to see this also, there is a common bus for the ground (both main and subpanel) but separate buses for the neutral. And sure enough, if I left the neutral on the main bus, it did not work.
Were you plugged in to shore power when you tried the outlet? If you were, then the neutral and grounds would have been tied together at the shore connection.
