Stupid me!! I understand household electricity like the back of my hand. I obviously DON’T understand RV power. I didn’t realize that RV 30amp outlets were only 120v. When I plugged my trailer into my 30amp 240v welder outlet and used the RV 30-50 adapter, I sent 240v down the one buss bar. The AC unit was running off 240v instead of 120v. I also fried the GFCI outlet (that’s a cheap fix) but now I have a refrigerator that’s not working. Time to dive into that and hope I didn’t fry the fridge. I’m hoping to find a blown fuse or something. The AC unit seems to have survived and is running perfect. The fan motor is cool to the touch and the compressor kicks right on and runs like a champ. Anyway, another live and learn lesson about these darn RV’s we love so much.
