Hot to ground.......no 120V but ground to neutral shows 120V
Reverse Polarity condition 50A (ground and hot lines coming into the RV are reversed, or an open conductor)
But I am not hooked up to the RV yet. I only have the surge protector hooked into the outside box and am getting that reading.
It a problem with the pedestal or your surge protector.
I'm reluctant to say what is causing the reverse polarity condition. His surge detector has 2 lights for each line (4 states) vs the common 120V 3 light household analyzer. Fortunately he's not plugged in.
I hope that the pedestal doesn't have a hot connected to the ground as that would mean for anyone plugged in the chassis would have 120V, a very dangerous situation.
