Smarter Than The Button

At Cave Country RV in Kentucky.  Nice RV park.

After we arrived yesterday, the Shelton’s air conditioner quit working.  Basically, only about half of their AC circuits worked and none of the DC.

I got out my meter and we checked the incoming power and the power at the breakers – all OK.  I suspected a GFI outlet, but they only have one, and that circuit was working.

Travis called a mobile RV repair service.  He showed up promptly and 1/2 hour and $105 later he found that a switch by the front door had been accidentally turned off.  That switch disabled all the 12 volt stuff throughout the RV, including the anything that used 12 volt controls, like the air conditioners.

Wouldn’t have been so bad, except once it was fixed, Travis admitted that it had happened to them before.
