Power cord and RV connection fried!

We smelled something burning. Shut down appliances. Found the short when I disconnected to leave. We have a master breaker and separate ones for appliances. I think one of those should have blown but maybe it was outside of that circuit, and a part of the site's power supply? Any thoughts on how to...

Another member posted a thread about changing something called a "hard starter" capacitor or something, but not wanting to hijack his thread, I thought I would post a new one.

Hardstart fix failing capacitor?
(Preview)
Will a Hard start replace or supplement a failing capacitor?
I have a domestic ac/heat pump that takes 10-20 seconds to fully start. When started it runs just fine - cold air, etc. we have 50 amp and a full 120 volt service.
Will a hard start resolve the slow start problem?
