New Transfer Switch

Monday, January 22, 2018

Last October we had a scary situation in the RV.  After smelling a burning, Bruce determined that our transfer switch was burning.  This switch brings power into the RV and switches between shore power and generator power.  Needless to say, it could have been a real disaster.  We had to cease using anything that would draw a lot of power like the air conditioners.  Fortunately for us, we were only days from being home and the weather had turned cool.  Bruce ordered a new switch and today was the first opportunity for him to replace it.  It is located under the bedroom closed behind the hot water heater and electrical panel.  This closet is at the foot of the bed so he had about two feet of floor space to work in.  Even after taking the floor out of the closet it was almost impossible to get into this space.  After contorting himself and me trying to add a third hand at times he succeeded to get the job done.
