    Electric Outlets

    I have a 2020 Coachman Freelander 29KB, and was wondering if anyone knew if we had electrical outlets in the basement of the RV? I’ve looked but don’t seem to have any?

    Electrical issue?

    Just got back home from camping for the summer and noticed my electrical cord and surge protector like this? Had to cut it apart a bit due to the melted plastic. What’s going on with this? Everything seemed to work just fine in the camper. Do I need a new cord? Surge protector??

    Just took delivery of a 2023 Sunseeker Classic 2860DS. In our storage garage, we have it connected to 120V AC. Inside the MH, the electrical outlets are not live. However, with the generator running, they are live. I assume that at an RV park, those outlets will be live. My big question is...

    Electrical Question

    My 2016 Forest River Vibe has a 50 AMP plug. Most of what I've read suggests it should be setup for 220v power. However, I currently have the 50 AMP plug adapted down to a regular, 110 plug, and it's able to run off of a regular 110 outlet on my generator, with the power switch set to 110. Is...

    I replaced the element in a Suburban SW10DEL water heater in April of this year. This weekend the water is only getting warm, not scalding hot as is usual.
