AH HA!!!
Need to jump 30 amps to the other blade (#10 wire) or half the RV will remain unpowered.
Even better pop in a double 30a breaker and pull a new hot to the other blade.
Neither of these three options is up to code afaik. Need 40 amp or 50 amp 240/120 split phase power to meet code. Still technically safe either way.

OK so you must be using an adapter to put a 50 amp plug into a 30 amp supply.
30 amp is 3 pins and 50 amp is 4 pins. Or is this something else?
Check that the adapter is putting power on both hot pins. Then check if both the main breakers have power.
Then you have the inlet connection and the transfer switch to check.

Ok, I am not getting any currant to either gfi box at all, with the boxes out of the wall to look for current.

Start by verifying that your adapter's female end (30 male to 50 female) DOES have 120 VAC between each outer straight and the center straight and center round. Zero center round to center straight.
Let us know what you find.

+1 for bad adapter or some other loose connection.
Of course it would also be prudent to check the GFCI outlet is not tripped.

A Learning Moment For Mex...
With 240/50 rigs, is it a universal practice to enable all and everything but additional roof air conditioners when running on a single 120 vac leg? How is the shed of A/C power accomplished?
Thank You
