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.
Your rig is 30 Amp and, no, that 15 Amp cord is most definitely not normal. Change that sucker out.
I just found out why my Bakelite fuse block had a bit of a meltdown at the Refrigerator fuse...when I was plugged in, I turned the fridge on but left it on 12V, instead of Electric. My Powermax PM4-100 puts out a tad over 15V with no load...I don’t have batteries hooked up right now...so I need to get some kind of regulator, to prevent this from happening again. I didn't put my meter to the fuse block, to test amperage....I probably should.
