I am constantly amazed how often this disaster strikes on RVs.
me too. I guess it is because some people "assume" that they know what they are doing? and this is complicated by people not using a multi-function surge protector or even using a volt meter to check out the outlet before plugging in.

I just have to add in my defense to show just
HOW it can happen to even a seasoned full time RV'er.I bought a house on acreage in Florida as a winter base.
Hired AND explained over and over to the electrician about the correct plug and wiring for my MH.
Went on a trip and was excited to return to my own property, RV garage, AND my very own new shore power. It was after midnight when I pulled in.
YES I have a surge protector that for '6 years' I ALWAYS attached to my MH plug BEFORE plugging into any shore power.
This was my new home, MY very own shower power. I just grabbed the MH cord and plugged it in.
No need to check my very own, brand new, RV instructions given and installed by an electrician shore power. Right? :S:S
Who was that said "TRUST NO ONE"? :B
