HELP AC Outlets blowing devices!
Hello all, I am currently living in a River Canyon 34RLQS0 5th Wheel that is hooked up to electrical power. I am having a odd issue with the electrical in the trailer. Some of the GFI outlets are b...

Sorry it took so long to reply back, I appreciate all the help.
So yesterday I opened the main circuit breaker box and found that the main black hot line is fluctuating between 0V-5V when in contact with neutral and ground. The red hot line reads great at 120v when connected to neutral and ground. I checked outside at the shorepower hookup and both hot lines are reading great at the receptacle. I also checked at the other end of the wire where it hooks into the trailer and both lines are reading 120v. There were 4 screws holding the receptacle into the trailer so I took that out and measured the voltage from the wires that are feeding into the trailer and everything is okay. I am guessing the problem is at the transfer switch where the shorepower meets the generator power.
There are 10 circuit breakers, 6 that are fed from the red hot line and 4 that are fed from the black hot line. All 4 that are connected from the black hot line are giving the bad voltage readings of 0-5V.
I have attached a picture showing the circuit breaker box. Circuits 3-4 & 7-8 are the circuits fed off the black wire giving bad voltages.
My question is does this explain the problem I have been having with the appliances blowing? Or do you guys believe I still have an open neutral somewhere?
Thanks
