Phil,

For your edification, in a 50 amp service, there are two hot legs, one neutral and one ground. You have two legs, not three, of hot. In a 50 amp receptacle, the top is ground, the bottom is neutral and the two opposing sides are hot. As previously posted, if one of the hots are "broken", you will not get full service to your trailer.

Here in New York, I have spent an hour re-wiring an "oven" box to a 50 amp RV box. This required hammering an 8 foot ground rod into the ground. Not fun!
