not feeling real positive about this. New converter on the way. Electrician called.
1. Converter Capacitors BLOWN===== 220 to your RV which is a NO NO
2. ASK your electrician IF he is familiar with RV 120 voltage and wiring. IF NOT, do NOT hire him. Find a qualified Electrician that knows RV 120 wiring.
3. ASK your electrician a few questions to determine his qualification
1. ON RV 50 amp service what should the LINE voltage be between the 2 HOT legs? Answer---DOUBLE the line voltage---240 volts
2. IF ON 50 amp service what should the LINE voltage be between EACH HOT leg and the White Neutral? Answer--- 120 volts.
4. If he answers WRONG, do not expect good results from his work. Hopefully he is BONDED to pay for any other damage he causes. Doug
