Re: Electrical outlet wont work
Thanks for all the replies. I got busy at work and wasn't able to revisit my problem outlet till this week. After playing with the outlet a bit and stripping the wires and punching them in the press in connections on the back I still couldn't get it to work. I gave up and read some of the replies about outside plugins this morning and went out to see if they worked. I plugged in a trouble light to the two outside plugs and they worked, Next I went in the tt and tried the gfci outlet by the bathroom sink and they worked also. I then went back to the outlet that wasnt working....and now it works. I dont know if when I plugged into the outside receptical I jiggled something as that is the only outlet I never played with back in the summer when I worked on this problem before or earlier this week when I again tackled this problem? Bad connection I guess.408Views0likes0CommentsElectrical outlet wont work
I have a 1995 Nash 20n and me and the wife love it but the electrical outlet by the kitchen sink does not work. All the the other outlets in the tt work but that one. When measuring voltage with my multi-meter i get 119v on all the outlets that do work and 89 across the one that does not work. I put a new outlet in and that did not work. Any ideas? We've done our best not to let this older tt go downhill and have tried to keep everything working but this one has me stumped.2.1KViews0likes12CommentsRe: I'm so bummed
I farm for a living and planning summer trips will never be in the cards for me as long as I farm. Not complaining, I'm blessed to be able to make my living this way, but Ive never had a proper summer vacation. I can kind of look at the calender and tell when I'm going to be in an in-between time on the farm but the problem is irrigation. The crops never stop needing it and it makes it tough to get away. With my work schedule I like to get 3 maybe 4 weekend trips a year. I'll just lay out what I do so other Northwest types can follow along. One trip up to Long lake below Potholes resevoir in mid March for one or two nights. Campfire, listening to owls, geese and coyotes, then a walk in to fish Janet lake for a trout or two. Second trip, late April to the Tucannon area in the Blue Mountains for more campfires and fishing for easy trout, hike to the top of a nearby hill for excercise and views. Third trip mid July or right after Labor day in September. These are the tricky ones due to harvest and water needs on the farm. Usually somewhere in the Cascades. One trip I sometimes try to squeeze in, and its a favorite time for me is the begining of October,the weekend before the Modern Firearm Deer season. Great time of year, nobodies out camping, beautiful weather. Last weekend and another weekend at the end of October we had plans to spend one night at Lower Monumental Dam on the Snake. Campfire, fish for Steelhead, hike up to the railroad tunnel. But strong winds of the +40mph variety had us canceling those trips. I'm an active guy, and though I do enjoy the time to get some reading in I hate to be forced into the tt due to cruddy weather outside.486Views0likes0CommentsI'm so bummed
The wife and I only got out once this year in our tt for ONE night last March. It was going to be two nights but the wind was blowing so hard it was miserable on the second day so we just came home early. Then work set in and wouldn't let up from April through September. When work eased up this fall we tried twice to go out for overnight campouts within an hours drive from home only to be turned back by threat of wind over 40mph. We just wanted to get out, have a campfire, roast some marshmallows and maybe do a little hiking/fishing the next day. Nope. I blew the water lines out this afternoon. I still might try to go by myself up deer hunting here after Thanksgiving. I guess I should just be happy that I have job and afford to have a tt. Oh well, theres always next year.4KViews0likes14Comments
