Quicksilver has a pair of 30-amp breakers for input protection.
L1 for normal conditions
N for when the park is wired in reverse.
Twice I have returned and found a reversed connection.
The park had work done -- the first time on the breakers, the second time on an underground junction protected by a thin steel plate.
Introducing line voltage to a neutral means absolutely zero circuit protection downstream of the error.
I preferred to adopt an optional provision to the NEC.
I have rented several umbilical dwellings with the same fault.
Two slots and nothing else receptacles are still common down here and it's a thousand to one shot to find a receptacle that is correctly wired with earth ground.
Modern rigs with EMS often spend the night boondocking in an RV park. I take no chances and wire in my own grounding stake at the site.
