Actually you are far from alone. We see a post like this every 2 to 6 weeks. Often people incorrectly use a double breaker for 30 amp RV service. Even licensed electricians have done it. Also common to somehow cram the plug into an older 10-30 dryer outlet.
Everyone seems to survive and continue on with some good travels once the issue is sorted out. It is actually amazing how many RV systems can be easily damaged by not following some procedure. Always seems simple and obvious after the fact. BTDT
Thanks! I'm hoping I escape with minimal damage. I plan on living in my camper for a year or so while I save money. I have the 2007 Keystone Laredo (34.5ft) fifth wheel. It is absolutely amazing. I almost cried when the power issue happened.
I got it for an excellent price considering the condition is still "new".
