Yeah the connector actually looked to be really high quality for about half the price of others. Never dreamed they'd reverse the screws...
The cord was actually one I made up for the generator and wouldn't normally be used plugged into AC power since it is only about 8 ft long..but I had done so at the house rather than leave the big cord out to weather, get chewed by rodents etc.. |

I don't trust ANY imported electrical products until I test them myself. We see this problem of swapped wires all the time with imported microphone and speaker cables. There's really nothing you can do to get the message back to China, which is a shame. That's one really good reason to pay a little more and buy American made products (when you can).

Reversed polarity (swapped hot and neutral) is really dangerous when you're working on wiring and assume the neutral isn't hot. NCVT testers like the Fluke VoltAlert are great for finding this sort of swapped-hot connection. |

Thanks to everyone who watched my webinar guest appearance today on RVtravel - YouTube. They've asked me to come back for another show in a few weeks, so send your RV electrical questions to mike@noshockzone.org and I'll put them on the list.

Sorry I had to miss this round. Saturday mid-day was my only "free" time all weekend to get some chores done around the house.

You can see the rerun at www.RVtravel.com where they'll break it up into single topics. Also note that they're changing the webcast time to Sunday evenings at 6PM west coast, 9 PM east coast time. Too many people want to get chores done or play golf Saturday mornings. Go figure...
 They've also asked me to do a weekly "Ask the Expert" video series. So if any of you have questions you would like me to answer in a video, please email them to me at mike@noshockzone.org. |

Sadly, a 3-year-old boy was electrocuted on Monday when the touched the electrified skin of his family RV in the back yard. Here's the video interview I just did about this for RVtravel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opuult8jMOo&feature=youtu.be
