You are using (2) separate 120v lines from the pedestal
I think the problem is because of the 6 wire configuration instead of 4 wires
You have a current imbalance in the circuit and possibility a voltage difference between the two legs
Assuming you started with a 30 amp rig
Why don't you use a 50 amp 4 wire cord for input,
This double 30 wired into one device/ inverter charger is your problem
This is a 50 amp coach. The use of 2 separate lines as input is interesting and since you mentioned it, that's also something else I changed with this setup. I had previously used only 1 20 amp incoming line but always had to turn down the charger to keep the other appliances from tripping a breaker. I could pull a new 4 wire run from the transfer switch instead which is nearby as well.
