Electrical problem - where to start?

[timvasqz]

get rid of the nylon rugs or polyester sheets??? DC electric in a wanderlodge
has many inverters built in where the current can be more than 12 volt. there
could be an inverter for one of the flourecent lights or el dash or a start
compasitor some place. maybe the flourcent inverters are one of the phantom
draws often spoken about????
