No power on one leg.
I received a 1986 Beaver Continental from my parents just a few months ago. Everything is awesome except there is no power to one of the legs when plugged in. However! I did have power when plugged...

It is NOT the "wiring" dammit. You either did not read my answer or you do not understand the concept. Allow an unfused potential which is a hot neutral reversal to enter the circuit.
You believe the 50-ampere breakers inside the coach are going to "protect" an unfused circuit rated at 30-amps?
You are assssssuming there are no neutral faults ANYWHERE in an older rig.
The issue here is recommending a design change that can cause an overload for which there is ZERO protection. Two faults: Hot/neutral reversal and neutral ground isolation fault inside the rig. Coupled with the fact that the only remaining safety is a rig master breaker rated almost double what the service can safely withstand. If the rig had a 30 amp master it would be a different ball game.
The poster is not a techie..
None of what I wrote in the postings above was explained by responders here. Not even load managementand the ramifications thereof.
Yeah this leaves me a little cranky. You people assumed the rig has proven electrical integrity. You folks assumed the power post cannot have hot neutral OR neutral ground reversed.
As an E.E. I am forced to encompass ramifications of ALL TOO COMMON connection faults. Yes this can happen with a 30-amp power post. But this has a 50-ampere potential.
Grumpy grumpy. Stick a 30-amp breaker between the RIG and the SPLITTER and make me a happy camprr.
