I recently had a similar experience. Check the other end of your shore power cord. I found one leg had gone extra crispy. Once I cleaned that connection up, all was good again.

Tires

I have Sailun tires on my heavy 5’er. Speed range max out at 75mph which is faster than I go with this rig. Tires are 14 ply and mine have well used and never let me down.

Bears in that part of NC don’t hibernate. They aren’t very active but they do come out in winter to feed. Makes for a real shock when someone bumps up on a black bear in January or February.

I’m assuming it’s 50amp. You may want to see if you’re getting 123 volts off your shore connection. If you have a multimeter, check lady and right “hot” ports. You didn’t say if your shore connection...

I’ve done I-17 before. Going up to Flagstaff is a struggle. Going down from Flagstaff is a heart attack. My insurmountable problem with 60 east of the arboretum is a tunnel with a published height of...

Seeking Wisdom: Route 60 from Cubero to Superior, AZ

Coming from the east, RV Life has me and my big rig (41’) leaving I-40 at Cubero, AZ and taking US 60 down to Superior, AZ. Route looks scary on the map with several hairpins and “S” curves. I have...
