Ernie, that's not good news. I'll bet you had one of the 120 volt leads
short out in the plug at the post. Good thing you didn't have any fire
inside from it. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I have a lot of extra parts
these days that maybe you can use some of them? If you need any SWOO
cord or plugs, I get those from the GE distributor in Billings & save
you lots of money on them. I used 6/4 SWOO for my 50 foot shore power
cord. Heavy but works great, especially with all the heaters running.
