  1. David, Thank you so much for the information...very helphful. Thanks to all who have helped. Sincerely, Murray
  2. Brett, Ok. I charged the coach batteries, and got the generator cranked. The A/C did not work, but when I press the aux power button, then the A/C started and it cooled. The frig was on, then it went dead, then the generator turned off after about 20 mins., so... What is next? Thank you. Murray
  3. Brett, You are great. I praying that the 120v appliances are not "destroyed" due to my ignorance. You are a great wealth of info. I am charging the batteries, so I can run off the generator to check the other equipment, because the shore power is not powering the appliances. Thank you very much. Murray
  4. Brett, I apologize. I meant to say one (1) hot, one (1) neutral, and one (1) ground, but I had it wired like two hots in the double-pole. Murray
  5. The outlets are wired like standard house wiring.
  6. Brett, No to four (4) wires. It is a double-pole breaker with two hots and a ground, and a standard 30 amp RV outlet. I have located three outlets in the coach, and two of them are still hot with 122.8v (I still have the shore power plugged to the correct confiquration of the single pole 30amp 120v), however, the one that "smoked" (nasty habit ) only has about 9-12v from the front oulet, but 120v coming in, so it is a fried receptical. Thanks. Murray
  7. Chuck and Elva, Thank you for your prompt response. I have contacted three (3) professional in our area, but all are about one (1) month before they can take us; we would like to take a month long trip starting June 7, 2010, so if I want to stay on course, then I have to use my DIY skills. Bless you. Sincerely, Murray
  8. Hello Family, We are joyous new-owners (one month) of a 1997 Discovery (Diesel) Class A RV with 41,000 miles, and we are new members of FMCA (one week). I am the third owner. The 1st owner took very good care of the RV. The second owner had it for one (1) year and only put one thousand (1,000) miles on it, so the coach is in mint condition. I wish I would have known about you guys before we got the RV...very very good information. Keep up the excellent work. I ran a double pole 30 amp breaker to the RV...I know. Symptoms: 1. Light switch with indicator of shore power is connected is still lit 2. The latter light switch is the only switch that works in the whole RV 3. Batteries will not charge 4. When batteries were charged, the A/C would work only when the aux. battery switch was pressed, but only for about 2 mins. 5. When I realized what I did, I then swithched to 20 amp 120v, and reset the breakers under the frig, then the GFI breaker in the kitchen began to smoke Hmmm. So...where do I start? I am a DIY, and have some working knowledge (you would not think so after what I did, but when you are ignorant and don't read first...well). I view this as an expensive and painful way to get to know my RV; something great will come out of this, for it is through adversity that we flourish. Sincerely, Murray
