Marinco has sold these cord clips for 30A shore cables for decades. Fairly popular on boats. I guess the 50 A cord ir just to large/heavy to have a "practical" sized clip.

Added this piece to my power cord this year based on discussions at this forum and before I had any problems. This certainly may be the very spot of the OP's problem.

To troubleshoot, I checked the park power post and confirmed that each of the legs is supplying 110 and 220 properly where you plug in at. I then checked the connection at the back of the trailer and it also properly has 220 feeding the trailer. The 110 black leg is working and the 110 red leg is working and combined they show 220. The power from the red connection never reached the breaker panel.

Does the main power feed go anywhere other than the main breaker panel before distribution? Is there any place I should look for a short? Any idea why the power doesn't reach the distribution panel?

Since the power is not feeding half of the panel board one of the GFCI's also doesn't have power so the GFCI can't be reset.

Thanks for your help, any advice is appreciated.

I am running a 2010 Western Big Sky 5th Wheel Trailer.
According to the first post the "backside" of the 50 Amp trailer receptacle tested ok.

Maybe this question as been asked- is there a transfer switch? Had a new unit that lost 1/2 when on gen. Found one hot lead not hooked up.

It’s early and..NO I didn’t go back and read the whole thread again.

Thanks to all of you for your help. I had an RV repair guy come by and he identified that the western big sky RV came generator ready and had a hidden automatic transfer switch. He unscrewed the wall that was directly below the power panel in the storage area below the trailer and identified the 8" x 8" x 4" automatic transfer switch. We could have either bypassed the transfer switch or replaced it so we replaced it which allowed the power to flow to the panel properly. The red feed that was supplying power in the transfer switch had pulled out of the switch most of the way from traveling so it wasn't a strong connection as well which may have caused the line to heat up pulling to much power through a smaller wire connection and damaging the transfer switch.

So the issue has been fixed. This forum has been a great help. Thanks again to everyone.
