AGAIN, IT’S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM

Ok true story time
Now in my case it was the A/C's (50 amp rig 2 of them) sometimes one worked, sometimes the other, both or neither.
First stop on the tribble search was the power distribution panel (Breaker box) also, as it turned out, the last stop.
The wires clamp to the bus bars and to the breakers with screws. One of 'em took over THREE FULL TURNS before I Called it tight.
The result of this is I have a saying:
Many RVers have a few screws loose
And no you know EXACTLY what Screws I'm speaking of.
Mine took either a #2 Phillips or Square (Also #2) square worked best
As my favorite RV-Girl (That's the license plate on her work van) says "When I tighten them they don't come loose" (We think alike on many repair jobs).
Excellent! My first stop because it’s so easy.
Sorry to have been short with you. Up thread I had just got done saying it was an electrical problem a couple times.
