Jo and Paul Carver Have Trouble in Snowy Colorado!! Could use help!
Could be an issue with one of the shore cord ends. Try another shore cord.

UPDATE. UPDATE.



Thanks for all of the replies. I just talked to Jo and Paul Carver. They

are managing on generator power. They have moved to 4 different sites in

the park and everytime they plug in the power cord, they get reversed

polarity. However, they do have a recommended repair source and they

will go there on Tuesday. Oh and Ron Thompson, they have a 1993

Wanderlodge widebody, with an electric refrigerator. I forgot to include

that info.



Thanks again,

Liz Pearce

with the shore cord or the transfer switch. to test: shorepower the bus

on the bus-side of the transfer switch, then the shore side of the

transfer switch, results will reveal problem.
