Totally smoked my battery charger, Transfer switch questions
Well, I plugged in my '87PT40 to my 50 amp service and I noticed the
air compressor wasn't running. Then I saw smoke billowing out of my battery charger compartment. Grabbed the extinguisher and opened the compartment door and my Trucharge 40+ battery charger was releasing all it's smoke big time. Pulled the 50amp cord to check it out. The Trucharge is history. I turned off all the breakers in the coach, plugged in the 50amp cord, and I get a loud buzz from the Shore power switch located by the copilots chair. I can't see how to get it out, everything is carpeted over. Is there an access panel under the carpet? What failure mode of that switch would cook my battery charger? Did it get socked with 220v ? I guess I want to pull that switch to check it out, see if maybe it's safe to use the 30 amp cords. I'm leaving today for an outing, I gotta get something working. Ideas?
