Somebody wired two cords together to do what one cord is supposed to be doing ! That's an electrical code violation, an a host of possible problems, I understand emergency survival temporary rigging, but that never should been left in place,
This dogbone adapter, is this duplex male at house with Gerry rigged 50 amp cord. From there too 5th wheel ?
If So with the loads you mentioned it is likely an open neutral, burned inside one of the connections 50 amp service cord is required to be 6ga wire, from your description those cords are 10ga or less, I don't know what if anything is damage inside the TT, but your friend needs to replace the cord situation and reduce loads to 20 amps or less because a 15 amp duplex outlet is not going to safely handle that much load, it's possible the neutral is burned off at the duplex at the house ,
If the doggone is 50amp at the house and 15amp going to the trailer, again the load is too much for the cords and the 15 amp female on the dogbone adapter
