Just pulled into my next spot a few hours ago and have not been able to get stable AC from shore. I'll list all the symptoms and what has been tested:
I did wash the trailer on the way down. It was about 90 minutes until plugging in. Do not see any evidence of water leaking inside near any of the electrical. All the plugs and cords are dry.
When I first entered the trailer after connecting I thought I smelled an electrical burn smell. The bath GFCI had tripped.
All breakers were checked and flipped several times.
I measure 116 outside on both the 20 & 30. I cannot get my volt meter leads to give me a reading on the 50.
When on the 50A receptacle, I get varying results as to what worked and what did not. Outlets, microwave. Sometimes after re-plugging, different items would work or not. When I say 'worked' for outlets, it was tested at 116v with a volt meter and a quick spin on a hand blender. Microwave screen and bulb will fade and flicker. GFCI makes clicking noises.
I turned on my computer UPS and it went into backup mode even when plugged into what I thought was a good outlet. It read 0v for input power, but at one point read 188v (yikes!). After awhile it literally went up in smoke.
Everything works normally on the generator.
Nothing works when I step down to 30 or 20 with adapters. I also ran 20v with an extension cord (12ga) to the neighbor. Nothing.
I'm betting something fried, as this is a well regarded facility and the regular camp host is not familiar with any repeat electrical issues. If so, what part do I need to hunt down on Christmas Eve? Converter or a transfer switch?
They may have another site I can move to tomorrow.
