One other questions: You said you plugged in at home.
is this an outlet you have used often for RV or is it a new one?
Might be a 240 volt issue .... Many electricians see a TT-30 and wire it for 240 volts. Many RVers see a welder or dryer or air compressor 240 volt and think "TT-30" (Depending on the outlet type).
I had one Moose Lodge governor ask me if I had tried the 60 amp outlet they had (I had not even seen it, I had however, seen the dual ganged circuit breakers (two pair, both 60 amp) so I already knew it was 240 volt.. Finally found it the next day, they use it for an industrial fryer.
