Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

long day .... in fact, a very long day .... with traffic blockages due to accidents and construction, it took us 8 hrs to cover 423.3 miles .... shortly after we got here a long time friend came by and we delivered just under $800 worth of steaks .... from there things took a down hill turn .... we have a short in the camper's 12V system .... I've looked the area over and can't figure out what's going on .... the friend to whom we brought the steaks will be back tomorrow and hopefully take care of the electrical problem .... as it turns out, scheduling a couple of days to spend here before pulling out Monday morning may come in very handy

its been one of those days .... when our friend arrived to take care of the camper's 12V system issues, he turned it on and guess what, yep, it worked to perfection .... that was just under 5 hours ago and its been working that way every since .. :? .. he lives a few minutes from our campground and has promised to come right back if/when needed

Glad it's back on. Maybe you can trace the problem down when you get back home. Be safe!

its a mystery to me .... the 12V circuit in the living area has some freaky gremlins ... its blowing 20 amp fuses on several lines .... we are 3 days drive from home and if we don't find something tomorrow we are probably going to have to limp her back .... if we were in Texas I'd know who to call but back home I don't

not too long after posting the comment above, a friend who lives near our campground came over to help .... he retired from Boeing where he worked on Fighter Jets ..... he has extensive experience working on electronics but none related to campers ..... I then called a friend from back home who is an Electrical Engineer and has extensive experience with RV systems .... they spent most of three hours working one the problem but in the end the fuse continued to blow, so we were right back where we started ....bottom line, there is a very high probability of an electrical short in the camper's fridge .... we are due to get back home on Wednesday and our friend plans to come by on Friday .... the frig is a bit under 5 years old .... if its bad, we may see if we can find an home style that will fit in the compartment
