Title: Might as well do it right the first time
Post by: ohsonew on September 01, 2018, 08:17:51 pm
When I brought the coach home today, I hoped that the weather would be a nice 75 degree day. And it was, about 6 AM. Headed for 94 with a heat index of 101. OK then I will see if I can plug into at least 20 amps and maybe run the back air to keep it tolerable. Got backed into position, pulled out the cord and (drumroll please), you got it, 2 ft. short. The only extension cord was 14 gauge and 50ft. Off to the hardware store and a couple of hours later, a 6 gauge 25ft cord was temporarily wired into the fuse box with a 50 amp breaker on one end and the correct 50 amp plug on the other end.  :thumbsup:  :dance:

Made the day much more tolerable to work inside. Only used the back AC because of a vibration in the front one still needing to be checked out. Just to hot today to get on the roof. It kept the coach reasonably comfortable. Aren't FT's great machines.
