Hi Steve,
Gene posted a link a while back to this meter (so of course I had to have one ) I just got it late last week so I haven't had much time to play with it but it looks like it will do the job and at a good price.

Based on what you have said I would run far far away from that campground. Or at the very least unplug and run off of batteries. Its clear their maintenance guy knows nothing about electricity, and there is something very wrong with that power post.

I agree. I’ll be checking the post outlet tomorrow with the clamp one wire to see if it matches, but I’m sure it will. Trying to figure out why the heck the circuit breaker doesn’t trip. Moving sites is not something I want to do, as this is a very desirable spot. If I don’t show up for a season the spot will also be gone. Thanks for the information. I’ll post anything new I learn.

If I had to guess I would say the outlet you are plugged into is not protected by the circuit breaker he was looking at and changed. Either its protected further upstream or the breaker is bypassed somewhere. Hard to say without being there, but given the loads you listed I am inclined to believe the amp reading you are seeing in the EMS. I would not trust another site either, I would seriously get as far away from there as possible, or not plug in. At best you are at risk of melting your 30 amp adapter.

Rob, The power does go on and off when the breaker is flipped, so the power is going through that.
I don’t know if this means anything, but when I first plugged in when we got here, the EMS gave me an error code for “Reverse Polarity”. The plug was changed and the code went away. I had to leave for a few days and returned to a prior code message of “low voltage”, indicating that the EMS had shut everything down at least once. This has occurred before at different parks on occasion. We haven’t had any electrical problems during use and our electricity has not been interrupted.Steve & Sue (pups:Sky & Sierra) Gardnerville, Nv

I've been following this out of curiosity, but that statement got me thinking. Is it possible to have reverse polarity at the breaker? If the breaker is wired backwards, and he just switched the wires at the plug, then the breaker could still be wired backwards. I'm not an electrician by any stretch, but I do work with 12V breakers. It is very important that these breakers are wired in the correct direction or they may not trip properly. Just wondering if the same is true for AC breakers.

Edited. Maybe I didn't think that through... That would mean the reverse polarity would have to be upstream, and the breaker would be wired to the neutral side and not the hot side? Maybe I should leave this to the electricians and bow out...Last edited by LV Naturist; 05-22-2019 at 10:10 PM.
