Nothing you said. My point was, when you ask a question on the internet, the two most critical subjects being electrical and propane, you will usually get a variety of responses ranging from absurd to dangerous. I've been on RV forums for going on 10 years, and I assure you, I have read it all, or at lest most of it, some comments being just an uninformed ower thinking he was being helpful to outright dangerous suggestions. You would do well, and I'm not saying that you don't, but research as many responses as you can. It's an ongoing learning experience.

Hello All, and thanks for everyone's suggestions and comments.
Well, after telling my brother-in-law everything y'all have been saying on here, he got some advice from his (real) electrician.
...As a reminder, we had already changed the Box from a 3-prong to a 4-prong.
But then the electrician directed him to take that connection and create a 'Jumper from the Ground to the Neutral' to solve it.
That "seems" to have worked; my Watchdog Power Protector did NOT light up red this time; and I finally have full electricity.
...But I'm curious if any of you have comments about this one way or the other..?
Thanks.

Curious about this as well!!! As a newbie, I use alot of this info to make educated decisions all the time! I was under the impression that there really isn't a difference in "wiring" when comparing dryer/welder to a 50A RV. Yes the receptacle may be different but as far as wiring, its a 3-conductor wire (2 hots, 1 neutral, 1 ground) or a 2-conductor (2 hots, 1 ground) like the OP has. One of the biggest mistake's is when someone tries to make a 240V 2-conductor circuit and wire that into a 30A receptacle. YOU WILL FRY YOUR TRAILER if you do this. Just extra information for other readers along the way. My apologies if I overstepped in any way.
