You thoughts on a broken wire are probably correct, but more common is a loose or high resistance connection somewhere between your power poles and the campground distribution panel . The idea of coaches having heavy demand on one hot leg vs the other is strictly random. These are the times that an rv power protector is so important. Having a classic (old Newell) I don't know what is included in a new coach, but something top notch like a Progressive Industries EMS-PT50X. More than a surge protector. It will protect you from low voltage and incorrectly wired systems.
Your on board computers and appliances are at risk with poor electrical power.
The camp ground we are at has "fake" 50 amp service. only one hot leg, one neutral and a ground. They have wired up the breakers on the pedestal to be double pole, but it is only the same 120 led to both sides of the breaker. Nice folks.
