Just out of curiousity, what are some of the worst case scenerios with this wiring? Thanks
The worst thing? With reversed polarity, the part of the equipment (RV) that is normally not hot in relation to the ground wire is suddenly 120v in relation to the ground wire. Touching the equipment (RV) and a good solid ground can electrocute you. And there is NO circuit breaker inline if the polarity is reversed.
