So tell us HOW did you find out you had a bad power cord? Was it the 30 amp cord or a regular 15-20 amp power cord that you plugged into an adapter? Inquiring minds would like to know! |

Actually... nothing as complicated. Just bought a new power cord and it solved the problem!

This series of articles about RV electrical safety is a must read.
I purchased the book also.
I even had personnel read it at work where we see this problem very often connecting laboratory trailers on oil and gas drilling rig sites. http://noshockzone.org/rv-electrical-safety-part-1/ https://www.amazon.com/No~Shock~Zone-Electrical-Safety-Michael-Sokol/dp/0990527913 David |

Absolutely all RV owners should know of the potential hazard of electrical shock because of many problems from shore power such as bad grounds. Which is why I use this devices to help insure I can recognize potential problems and help reduce voltage spikes from shore power.
