Fire Bug Low

In as little as two weeks we have had another " hot " experience
Sometime between 5-8 am our power went out in the trailer. I thought I would walk down and flip the breaker. But Ben decided to check our power box first. Yep the RV cord was hot and had melted on contact with the box. Our plug was spiffed and oiled before we plugged it into the park 30+ yr old receptacle. However the contact point was too much for the old power supply and it snuggled against our cord and " there were sparks" literally. We turned off the power supply, cut off the RV cord and then let the park rewire the box. Now off to Ace Hardware to get a new plug- a foreign animal they have revised the shape. Then to top it off with Ben's teasing about Black Friday sales the sales clerk gave us a coupon for 50% off. God Bless America and their coupons.

Ben vaselined the plug so to keep the contact clean and rust free. It works .. now we have power and better yet internet! The only unfortunate thing is that the old electrical box won't close as the fancy new plug head is large and rectangular not the little round knob as before. Oh well that is what plastic bags are for- to keep the rain out of the electrical box when one has too big a plug to close the door!!!

What next!
