I have seen the connections in the power cord plug get loose and cause issues. You might check that out.

The breakers inside the coach and yes, it's the fuse on the transfer switch controlling the shore power that keeps blowing. I did check the power cord and it checked out. The 30amp adapter was suspect so I changed that but nothing improved. I took apart the old contractor and the neutral was had the most burn damage, so maybe the old adapter had somehow electrified the neutral? 
I asked an electrician friend to stop by on his way to a job for his opinion.  With no power and all breakers off, he used a Continuity meter and found that when the breaker for the W/D was the only one on, there was continuity between the W/D plugs red wire & water pipe and black wire & water pipe, but off there is none. Now with all the breakers off, including the W/D, he flipped each breaker on, one by one, to see if there would be any reaction in the W/D plug wires/water pipe. 7 of the breakers made the continuity meter light up at W/D plug, but he thought some of that might be because of appliances, tv's or items plugged into outlets around the coach. Unfortunately that's all he could offer today, and being that I'm not an electrician, I'm not sure that what he found is something unusual or not. 
Did I mention that now the generator won't supply power to the coach either?
