Electrical Trouble

[Gregory OConnor]

Slim most of my electrical knowledge was schooled with shock. The
first thought that comes to mind is the gauges in the bus and the
polarity indicators are doing the job! so the POC (point of
connection) has high voltage. may be a multimeter check at the poc
will prove problem/cause.

I wonder if you can have a reversed polarity within the bus that
will show up at the hookup led indicator. If a bus r/p receptical
has a heater or rehostat type item plugged into it????

I would manualy turn off the inverter prior to shore hookup in an
effort to learn and investigate if the inverter could cause the
symptoms. Sounds like it is truly on shore side of transfer switch?

remember that ground (green) is not bonded to neutral (white) any
place in the bus. the entire bus is treated like a UL appliance
and bonding to ground is only done at the campGROUND.
