Re: [SilverStreak] Electrical question



The big difference between fixed house and RV 120VAC wiring is that in RVs the neutral (white) 
and ground (green or bare copper) do not connect in the RV. They are connected in the pedestal 
("shore"), which is the "real" supply panel for the RV.
If part of your 120VAC outlets (receptacles) go dead when you switch the converter (what I guess 
you are referring to as a "transformer") off, something is wired really curiously. The 120VAC 
outlet into which your converter is plugged is just one of the 120VAC outlets in the RV's system. 
It may be controlled by a toggle (ordinary house-type wall) switch but nothing else should be 
connected to this switch.
