Paul,
I own a '60 Overlander which was made at the
Jackson Center, Ohio plant. It has been in the family since it was new, it has
been in my care for over a decade now.
My trailer has a small aluminum plaque rivited
to the outside of the trailer just to the right of the main door which states
the model name. Yours should have the same. You may wish to post the serial
number (also on a plaque near the door) so we can make sure as to the year of
manufacture, model, and perhaps the factory.
If indeed you have a '60 Overlander I would be
happy to share with you what I have discovered about the systems.
About the "shocking" problem...We often had the
same problem whenever we used an extension cord with a 2 pronged plug.
It sounds to me that the polarity is reversed. Your trailer should have a
polarity light on top of the electrical box. It will be found in a closet or
trunk space adjacent to where your cord plugs into the trailer. If the light is
still working it will light when polarity is reversed. Try plugging the cord in
the other way.
After replacing the 2 prong plug with one
having 3 prongs (no chance on our part of reversing the polarity) we had
this problem one more time when the cord itself went bad.
Get back to me with the serial number and we will
proceed from there.
