Where in the rv did this short and reversal of polarity take place?In a junction box,in the wall,I am sorry i really am puzzled at this.If the AC went to ground the breaker trips opening the circuit.What exactly is the ac problem,amazing story.
Not sure yet on the location other than my breaker box is under the fridge, all good there, but at the ac which is about 10 feet away its crossed. Hopefully when I receiver the new AC and yank the other I will find the short close to the AC so I dont have to do too much in the ceiling.
The AC issue is something happened and shorted the compressor, when that happens you need a new one so just get a new AC.
He's using the word "common". Nobody uses that word when talking 110 volt A/C current. We use the term neutral. He's thinking 12 volts and that black is ground. If I'm correct (and I always am) lets just hope he's still alive and reads all this!
Your last sentence was the best advice!!! He needs to hire someone. I hope he still has walls!
