Check your electric BEFORE unhooking

This past week we were in Oklahoma camping at Foss Lake State Park. Pulled into our spot and began doing our thing with unloading and such. I have installed a PI EMS-LCHW50 in the unit so I wasn't worried about any electric issues as I was protected. What I forgot to do first though was check for any error codes. I just plugged in and began doing other things.

After all done, I went in to turn on air for the dogs. Well the thermostat was throwing up an error code and wouldn't turn on. I finally got a brain and went to check my PI readout and it said I had an E2 code. This was an open ground and the PI shutdown so I wouldn't do any damage.

Was glad for it and did learn me a lesson. Check electric before unhooking and leveling and running out slides and all that other good stuff.

We loaded back up and moved next door, checking electric before doing anything else.

Don't know what this could have done to our system without the PI but nice to have it and not worry about it.
