Re: 50 Amp Surge Protector

I only have the surge protector hooked into the outside box and am getting that reading.772Views0likes0CommentsRe: 50 Amp Surge Protector
Bumpyroad wrote: what is "reverse polarity" on a 50 amp outlet? I can see on a 30 amper where the hot and neutral could be reversed, but on a 50 amp outlet if one of the hots was switched with the neutral making the neutral hot, you would have a hot to hot connection???????? wouldn't that be sort of a "mess"? bumpy I know, that's what I was thinking. You've got 2 110 amp lines coming off the box, so what difference to which side it is hooked up inside the box make?772Views0likes0CommentsRe: 50 Amp Surge Protector

A 50A plug is a common household circuit/plug and normally there would be little chance of it being miswired. The pedestal could have an open wire and the device is indicating a polarity problem. What brand/model do you have? Ah hah! I will try that. It's a progressive industries model ssp-50.316Views0likes0CommentsRe: 50 Amp Surge Protector

I bought a 50 Amp surge protector that plugs into the main RV grounds power box. The lights on the surge protector indicates reverse polarity. Does the connection at the main box have to be fixed to the right polarity in order for the surge protector to work properly?6.8KViews0likes35CommentsRe: Florida (and Trailer Trash)

In our parts, if you don't have at least one frig and one old car on blocks, you got no class. Great response! I wish I had been there when it happened as I am pretty quick with a pithy response.161Views0likes0CommentsRe: Florida (and Trailer Trash)

We found we prefer parks that are all or mostly all Rv's because the permanent residents have their own friends and don't seem to be as friendly. We're in a park now with 99% rv's and every one is very friendly. Like I said, the great majority of the permanent residents have been friendly, so far she's the only one.161Views0likes0CommentsFlorida (and Trailer Trash)
My wife and I are in our first year at a Florida snowbird location and at this place there are permanent mobile homes (about 30) and a large area for RV's. We are in our RV and have found the great majority of the people who are there (both mobile home residents and RV er's))very friendly and helpful. One day my wife was in the clubhouse talking to a lady and she mentioned that we were in an RV and the lady said to my wife something along the lines of: "Oh, you're one of those?" and walked off in a huff without another word. I couldn't believe this happened. I told my wife that if it ever happens again with someone else that she should respond by saying: "Just because you trailer doesn't have wheels on it does not mean you're not trailer trash either." Has anyone else ever had this kind of experience?9.2KViews0likes39Comments
