[Curt Sprenger]

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.
