Just got set up at a campground in Colorado Springs and I have a big problem. Everything seemed to be working correctly electrically initially but when we came back to camp I found the front air condi...

Hi Mike,
I wish that were so--but the 30 amp shore power can be on either the high or low voltage side of a neutral. It is rarer, but not impossible. That is why I always check voltage and polarity under load before I plug in the RV.
BTW I'm not a surge protector believer, but rather an energy management believer. Mostly low voltage is what causes slow but progressive damage to items such as the air conditioner. That is why the first line of defense is measurement under load, before plugging in the RV. The second line is a Sola Basic autoformer which does 3 layers of boost and 1 layer of buck.

Assuming that it may be my plug that's defective, if I continue to only use the 30 amp adapter that should prevent a similar overvoltage from happening again right?
