Safe shore Power

I bought one of the little yellow power post testers that shows if it's safe to use.
My question is, if I plug into the 120 plug and the lights show OK, does that mean the 30 amp and 50 amp. are safe or just the 120 volt ???
I have a pigtail that I can use to check the wireing threw the 30 amp plug, but what about the 50 amp. ?
I've never had a problem but I pretty much stay at well maintained parks because my wife uses a walker and can't deal with uneven ground.

Even if the post tests good before you plug in, conditions can change. That's why I use a portable unit from PI all the time.

Unfortunately that tester will not help you checking the 50 Amp, 240 Volt supply. You can make one that does or purchase one. Here is a link to a home made tester you can assemble for about $35.00.
