We stayed at the American Heritage RV park, which is a nice place to

Tom or Dick, if either of you happen to read this, last year one of
you suggested an instrument for testing the current at camp sites. I
didn't get it then, but want it now. Could you remind me again what it
was, please?

The only way I know how to do it is to use a multi-meter to check for
120 volts (on a 240 system) against neutral and ground.

Ommmmmmmmm....

It is a digital volt meter that plugs into the receptacle. And will
also
tell polarity, and most likely if you have a ground.

Well, where the hell were you all day with this information? :)

West Coast time zone, they don't get up till we go to bed. But they'll
be leaving us soon.

I feel bad now....all this time we've been accusing Kalif Bill of swilling
liquor when he's only been sleeping while posting here.
I guess we just have to talk a bit louder to wake him up.


If you had paid attention in school instead of all the beer drinking, you
might not have had to work for an employer you hated for 40 years.

Polarity?

Yup, polarity. Is the Hot lead on the correct receptacle terminal.
Is
the Neutral on the correct terminal. And do you have a ground wire
attached.

That's not just any run of the mill DVM.


The meter I saw at Camping World yesterday was digital and it measured
voltage and frequency and checked polarity. It also had an audible alarm
if voltage or frequency went out of range or if polarity was wrong. It
plugs into a 110 15A jack. Plug into a power post and learn if it is
safe to plug in your camper. Then put the tester in an outlet inside the
camper to continuously monitor the power.

I still have some reading to do, but why only 15A if the trailer is a
30A?

John H

Because there is a bigger market for NEMA 15 amp receptacle plugs than for
30 amp. And I have an adapter plug for 30 to 15. Can buy it at Walmart.
Then I can plug my camper in at home to cool down the fridge and charge the
battery.

Yeah, if he were an "illegal," he could have been working for you at
lower than standard wages, without fringe bennies, and been otherwise
exploited. What a thrill.

Hee hee..42 years??? I'm going back to the 'Corp' to get my pension

Anyway the first dozen or so years were fine...before the financial crunch
kicked in.

No. I asked the question. Several others are providing answers. Maybe
that's just too hard to comprehend.

When you said you were about 60, I spit coffee everywhere. I thought
you must be in your late 20's or early 30's. Of course, I'm basing
that on 'percieved maturity'.

Goodbye Donnie. For you, this is a valuable tool. Just don't spend all
day with it.
