Am I missing something?

So we are on our shakedown trip with our new 5er. Last week I installed a Progressive Industries hardwired 50 amp surge protector. The 5er is wired for 50 amp service. At this campsite there is only 30 amps available so I am using a 30 amp to 50 amp dogbone. When I am plugged in, the display will show my voltage on L1 and L2, the amp draw on L1 is 2 amps and L2 shows 0 amps. When I turned the AC on last night, I would expect the amp draw to climb. It did not, L1 remained at 2 amps.....probably the converter or the refrigerator, L2 remained at 0 amps. I double checked to make sure the current sensors were plugged in and facing the right direction. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a bad Surge Protector or current sensor. I'd call Progressive they have great Customer Service.
