Generator woes Update

[Julia Bonser]

We are in Portland, Oregon now at EC Power Systems who were
recommended by Power Tech. They seem to know much more what to do.
The problem is in the electrical box behind the generator, the wires
leading to the voltage regulator overheated and burned some distance
back from the connection that failed. So they are having to get back
to where the wire is sound to do the splice. They had to move the
slide and generator farther out of its bay. It's amazing what can be
done with a fork lift.

We all discussed how difficult the generator is to troubleshoot
because of the difficulty of getting to the rear of the generator.

We are in the coach tonight locked in the yard behind their fence as
they were in the middle of the job at quitting time.
