Hot Neutral Reversed

[Vach]

My son just bought a small 1999 camping trailer. Being a good dad I offered to check out a few things for him. Stuck the outlet tester into the wall and it says hot neutral reversed while plugged into shore power. Used noncontact voltage tester and no hot skin problem. Now what? Simple fix? How dangerous is this problem? Thanks.

Good advice above, and I want to add; Is only the one outlet affected? Or is it every outlet? Problem might be at the power center (breakers) or just at that outlet and maybe those downstream. Easy fix in any event as Biscuit said.

Unplug from shore power and test that source......

Hot/neutral reversed is easy to fix.
Just swap wire position


Dangerous....YES
Loss of ground and RV skin could then become a 'hit skin' condition.
Electrical shock.......electrocution


Some electronics could be damaged
