Reverse Polarity
#1

So if some of you remember last week, I was carefully washing the front blower bay and got blasted electrically. I was using a stainless steel garden hose (you know the ones that never kink but instead become an unraveled mess and leak all over?, Yes, thats the one!) So the water spray I thought must have hit something live on the blower. Well I had realized the other day when I was adding a receptacle that all of them were showing reverse polarity. The neutrals in the breaker box were hot. So I checked my 120v cord which is feeding the coach and it is correct. The previous owner left me with two adapters to drop from the 4 wire 50 amp cord to the three wire "V" 30 amp configuration and finally another short cord from the 30 amp to the 120v. I checked the 50 amp cord and it is properly wired. Would the two 18" converter plugs be made wrong to send the power reversed? Both short cords are made by Camco which is a good company. I ordered from Amazon (Because Bezos needs another rocket ship) a 50amp to 120v cord so see if that helps with the reverse polarity. Coach is otherwise wired correctly. Have any of you gone through this? Incidentally, the metal exterior of the coach was live with my Greenlee 6706 tester. Crazy. Now I keep it unplugged except at night to charge the batteries from the days use...
