Actually, a 50a R/V shore connection is 240v across the 2 legs. It's wired no different than a 4 pole 240v connection to a range, welder, etc.

It is the power distribution box inside the R/V that keeps the legs separate and keeps anything from being connected at 240v.

It is the 120v 30a 3 pole R/V shore connection that electricians often get confused on and mistakenly wire it at 240v.

But alas... we never heard back from the OP as to what exactly wasn't wired correctly or what was done to rectify it.

Here are the readings you would get using a multimeter. L1 to L2 would be 240V.

Sounds like this OP is totally confused or is trying to spoof the forum for the heck of it. Missing important information regarding the whole incident renders me to believe that. The only thing for the OP to do is get hands on help. Take it back to the dealer, assuming that is where it came from. Trying to help someone this confused already, will only further the confusion on his part, or get him electrocuted.

You may be correct. "Kimmie" the OP is MIA since the original post.

They were active 12 hours ago. Don’t know what happened to them! This is their only post.

Punctuation is your friend.
