Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Sheesh, second night in a park and all heck broke loose with my Carriage Cameo fifth wheel.
First I plugged in and then flipped the breaker thing at the post---50 amp, yup---check.
Then I attached the water hose and lifted the pump handle and water shot everywhere at the intake place--I ran to see where it was leaking and got a shock when I touched the camper. Didn't really believe it but turned off the water and touched the camper again--only to get a shock once more.
So of course I immediately unplugged it, and unplugged it from the truck as well. no more shocks, but my progressive surge protector is no longer lit up either.
btw, we had a 50 amp surge protector installed in the rig, with a 30 amp plug in attachment at the pole--as recommended by another rv person.
I was able to fill a bucket for water use, and was amazed at the insane water pressure from the water pump---I suspect that it blew apart my fitting and the water sprayed all over the electric stuff in there. Is that likely?
Thankfully I am holed up for the night in Statesville NC and there is a Camper World here.
I intend to be there when they open in the morning---any words of wisdon for getting everything shipshape without spending more than necessary?
