Here's my newbie moment:
Fired up the generator. No power to anything.
Checked breakers and fuses.
It somehow dawned on me to check the power cable which must be plugged into the generator when not on shore power. Yup. Plug just laying there in the compartment. DUH!
I had exactly the same newbie moment on our first trip in our RV. Nice to know I'm not alone.
I have a feeling that, if someone started a "What was your newbie moment?" thread, it would rapidly run to 100 pages, and there would be a lot of similar experiences reported.
