Still, get the outlet tester. Still could be reverse polarity as there is no neutral ground bond in the RV.

A quick way to test this is to look for voltage between neutral (white) and ground (green) at various points in your power chain.
This issue is one reason why it is important to check shore AC before plugging in.
