Bruce summed it up nicely. You can easily over voltage some items on the lighter loaded side and brown out the heavier loaded side if neutral is missing. A good way to burn out rooftops etc. TVs and computers are mostly 90-240 autoswitching nowdays so they probably will survive. Though metering a park post won't always tell you how snug the connections are, I always meter first. Each hot to N. Each hot to G. Hot to hot. N to G.
