You guys are making good progress. My repair manual came the other day, so I can start planning what I need/want to do with the engine. I decided to plug in the electrical and try running the AC to dry out the inside of the coach (and not fall over from heatstroke) and I discovered something odd. The end of cord for the electrical service has been replaced (not very well), not only that but its been swapped to your typical 120V Three prong plug like you use in the house/can be plugged into an extension cord. Am I correct in assuming that this is NOT normal for an RV? I was under the assumption they used some weird plug. Also not sure if it is 30A or 50A. I am operating the assumption for right now that it is 30, but I will have to be sure before I do anything.
So I guess I need to replace the cord (or at very least the end) before I can safely take advantage of "shore power" (I dunno what the RV equivalent is). I talked to the buddy who is storing it for me. His electrical panel is very close to where the RV is parked, so I am looking into having a hookup installed on that corner of the house.
