if the orange wires were correctly wired with correct type of wire and you found the green wires coming from the outlets not grounded what would you do with them? how would you terminate them and to what?
also since it looks like my hot wires are green and black and white is ground in the wire coming from shore power? how would you correct that? I saw mentioned that it should have a 4 wire not 3 wire shore power cord? where would the 4th wire go? to what?

This bus has been in use for several years. right or wrong color code.
... We all Don't have PHD in electrical engineering or licenses or whatever or thousands to have a pro to do it.. So we ask for help!!!!!
... colored tape could help him correct color code ...
I don't see a dual pole breaker in that box unless I'm not seeing something. My understanding is that a 50 amp connection should come into a dual 50 amp breaker. Maybe the 50 amp breaker is in that other junction box, but not sure if that is code legal either.
...Can black wire be remarked with tape to be ground or neutral? A friend of mine who was a commercial electrician for 30+ years said I can, but he also didn't state it had to be any specific color of wire to start with.
Where does one find an RV electrician? Do RV dealers have licensed electricians doing electrical repairs?...

lets me clear some stuff up.. this bus was converted in 1999 and yes somehow it ias worked and not burned to the ground
as I stated before I have 2 power cords.. one is shore power and one is gen power.. both go into a box.. ( I got pics )...now does this make it any better then before ..
Is there anyway you can help the guy Sean I know it not to specs but for 13 year old wiring it looks good and neat I have seen a lot worse done by the so called pros just my 2 cents worth
