I took my trailer to an RV dealership with an electrical issue and wrote in plain language what the was. I got a call from the tech that the problem was my tv's and microwave. I went to the dealership and had a heart to heart with the tech and service writer. Come to find out the tech did not read the written issue properly thus he did not properly trouble shoot it. He call me the next day eating crow in a big way and said the problem was fixed. All info needs to be found out about what the issue is before it can be proper troubleshoot and fixed in a timely and permanent manner. JME.
Your best suggestion is get a hold of a qualified RV tech. Not an electrician. Most electricians are clueless beyond wireing a light switch and can cause more damage than you already have. I agree it sounds like a 50 amp coach with an open nuetral. Real simple fix. Check all wire connections in the distribution panel and transfer switch (if applicable). Next check power source. If you know nothing if 50 amp or 30 amp plugs then this is where you need the tech. If it is an open nuetral be prepared to replace your converter and maybe some other more expensive items because your coach just got hit with 220.... oops!
Hope this helps
