haha correct It would (dryer) if it had a range or rv plug on it

its the 30 amp 3 wire welder outlets that will roast the marshmellows in your sink that you have to avoid

I didn't think that was the case. Dryer cords don't work.

2008 tiffin allegro bus, I have no power to rv, found tripped circuit breaker inside house, have power to transfer switch now, is this a resettable item or would it be shot. Can I jump battery to engine and drive to get it fixed. Thanks John

When I parked it 2 wks ago power cord was stretched possibly lost neutral if that would cause problem,

John, from reading your post, your coach was operating correctly up to two weeks ago. What concerns me is your last statement. Why would you suspect the neutral wire was broken,,:h. Stretching the power cord wouldn't normally do that. Did you have the cord fixed.??:h. Finally, is the house receptacle you're plugged into, an RV plug that you've used in the past?:h.....Dennis

Don where would they be located would you know

It really depends on your floor plan model Mines located in the bedroom where the left Mirrored closet door slides open

It should not be all that hard to find a main breaker panel
the 12V fuse side of things should be at the same place

may be also located below the fridge also

Don where would they be located would you know

no inverter has no bearing on anything if your hooking up a battery charger to the starting batterys

So, you are on 50 amp shore power (only way to have 240 VAC). And, you have confirmed polarity:
50 amp shore power outlet:
Each outer straight= hot
Center straight= neutral
Center round= ground

SO:
Either outer to either center straight or center round= 120 VAC
Outer straight to outer straight= 240 VAC
Center round to center straight= 0 VAC


What breaker is tripped?

If I want to drive I would have to shut off inverter and then I can charge batteries
