Unsafe outlet?
I have a small Klein Tool Tester that is showing "Hot/Neu. Reverse" when plugged into a nearby outlet. Would this outlet be safe to use for a couple of hours? Thanks in advance for any input....RT 210

Yes, you could use it for a short period.
Is your rig equipped with 30 amp shore power or 20 amp?
If 30 amp, are you connecting to a location that has both and are you testing the 15/20 amp receptacle and not the 30/ You could use your Klein tester with 30 amp adapter to test the 30 amp.
And reverse polarity is only one of many faults that my PI HW50C checks and it will not connect if there is a fault (it does have a manual override).
