An OPEN or LOOSE Neutral.
1. AT the supply pole at the CG--- CG fault
2. AT the Transfer box----OEM installer fault
3. The 50 amp Power Cord---whoever supplied the Cord (usually OEM)
4. AT the Neutral coonection at the RV inside Breaker Box--OEM fault
ANY of these will NOT show burn marks unless it was a LOOSE connection. If OPEN (not connected) there will be NO indication other than 220 introduced to the RV and various appliances burnt out. You CAN have a lightning strike on a clear day and only affect YOUR post. I have had a few customers over the years that have had that experiance and the only reason they knew what caused the power burn out was RV'ers next to them saw and heard while they were away from the RV and told them what happened.
