Do you mean reset the house breakers or in the RV? I don't know how to check voltage at the 30a main ( I know I know). House wiring I understand, RV wiring, different story. What/where is the transfer switch? I don't think there is a surge supressor.
Reset the RV breakers.
About RV wiring...
The RV has 2 electrical systems, 12 volt DC and 120 volt AC. Most of the RV is powered by the 12vdc system. The converter converts the 120vac power to 12vdc, actually somewhere between 13.2 and 14.4vdc, that keeps the battery charged. The only thing powered by the 120vac in most 30A systems is the microwave, TV, AC and the outlets. The refrigerator and possibly the water heater work off propane or 120vac and both need 12vdc for their control circuits.
A good intro to the 12v system is The 12 volt side of life.
Hope you enjoy your new to you RV.
