Glad to hear it's resolved, letting us know that helps others with the same problem,so thanks for that.

As for your other statement!!! Well without knowing it you did call an electrician!
Yes glad it will help others and yes without knowing it I guess I did. So as you know I have had an AC issue and it kept tripping the breaker or so I thought. I got to thinking was the AC compressor causing the panel to overheat the panel and trip the breaker, or perhaps the weakened wiring and damage was affecting the compressor? So I decided to do a test, by the way there is no heat present from the panel anymore. So before with the AC on the panel would get hot and the breaker would trip within 2 mins, not this time and it seemed it was cooler air and the panel remained cool and lasted beyond the usual 5 mins. We will still use the AC only when absolutely needed, when there are no cool breezes outside, not to mention because of our damaged bedroom window mechanisms and damaged vent mechanisms it makes it much harder to seal up to keep cool air in.Because of the crazy window mechanism alone I would strongly advise others to think twice before buying a 1994, Adventurer.
 
How did this happen in the first place??

We think it may have been water leaking from the freezer leaking down on the breaker panel and we didn't realize it was getting in, the rusted screws and bus are a good indicator.
 
All good suggestions thanks
