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?
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.

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.

Black to brass.

See, I remembered some of my electronics.
That's only if you want to blow something up.

And always cut the red wire - not the blue wire. Occasionally the
green wire. :)
Or pull the fuse out.

What if it doesn't have a fuse?
blasting cap igniter trigger whatever.
The red wire has continuous voltage on it. Red with white stripe
indicates switched voltage. Do You think your local bomb maker knows
color coding?
