Had our little rig out this past weekend, down to Williamsburg, VA,
where the temp climbed into the 90s on Saturday. Last time we were in
that kind of heat the air conditioner kept popping the circuit
breaker.

This time the AC worked well. Don't know if the problem was the
circuit breaker or not, but at least we kept cool this time.

We stayed at the American Heritage RV park, which is a nice place to
stay if you're ever in that neck of the woods.

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?

Even handier, a motel room with air conditioning, and a bathroom with a
clean toilet, sink and shower.

I have one of those. They are pretty cool. Two things though. I don't
know if they can detect reversed or open legs or test ground fault
protectors and if he were to adapt it to monitor amps it is limited to 15A.

It's a nice gadget, but I don't see what I'd use it for. The AC
doesn't plug in, it's wired to the circuit breaker. I'll take the
multimeter next trip and see what I can learn using it at various
outlets.
