Feedback on Power Issues

Only a few select peeps would I share my tip of rubbing pineapple on the 50A plug prongs to improve electrical flow!

Why don’t you just go ahead and plug into the pineapple directly @Neal? Who didn’t make a lemon battery as a science project as a kid? Same principal, and pineapples are coach sized!

I sense some pineapple envy going on here...

I Dole know what your talking about.

Friends don’t let friends put pineapple on pizza. It’s just not right....or maybe un-American or un-Italian or un-somthing. ?

Very Hawaiian though, according to Dominos.

While we’re on that topic, guess where I couldn’t find Hawaiian bread?

Continuing Saga: I received my Autoformer today (yay!), but didn't have a chance to deal with it due to a very sick dog who just got diagnosed with mmm. ? Then tonight my generator came on and when I looked at the control panel, it said I had a brown out on L2 with 60 v. Tested the pedestal with my Fluke (I know how to use it now!) and I'm good at the pole with 120v, 119v on L1, L2, respectively. Tomorrow I'll get the autoformer hooked up and then try to figure out a Plan B. ??

Renee: so sorry to hear that one of your dogs is ailing. We'll keep all of you in our prayers for a good outcome.

Remember that with your Fluke multimeter, you were testing an unloaded voltage. It could still be bad at the pedestal when any kind of load is applied. If the power at the pedestal really is OK, then I would start suspecting the cord reel contacts or the transfer switch. Hopefully, it is just a park power issue. Are others in the park experiencing any issues? I'd ask around.

Oh dang. The control panel is showing 119v, 118v. Another DSDP came in today and I talked to them tonight after I checked my pedestal. They didn't have an issue with power. I am concerned that it might be "me" since the generator has not been coming on during prime power usage hours. I'll call a RV mobile tech to come check the transfer switch. I refuse to believe it is my reel. I just got a new one last year. ? How do you determine if the transfer switch is bad?
