I'm confused; is there a question here? If you don't have any voltage at the power pedestal, you need to notify park management and/or change sites. Or, find a different park with working power.

With any power outages in the coach your first trip should be to the pedestal. I've spent alot of time trying to track down switches and fuses, only to find the problem could have been solved in 30 seconds at the pedestal.

Ran into several people in campgrounds that assume the pedestal is always hot. Good procedures are to turn breaker OFF before plugging in or unplugging.

If its your BCO switch over the door the voltage will not read if your house batteries are low and low voltage also will not operate the solenoid to charge your chassis battery.Any time you have shore line plugged into at least 110 volts have your BCO switch on so BIRD or B.I.M. Charging system can charge all your batteries.Its on also when your driving your coach so your Altenator can charge all your batteries.
This link covers this and many more items in your coach.
