Re: [VAL] AC male plug, HELP!!



    Dean, Gerald, Paul and Michelle,

    Thanks for all the willing help.  I feel like such a bonehead.  There
was the massive cord (you weren't kidding Gerald) resting in the back bumper
alongside the sewer hose.  It's now plugged in and the refrigerator is
cooling down as I write this.

    One by one, I'm slowly getting to know all systems aboard and am
currently installing a nice Sony car radio in the forward overhead locker.
Even finding 12v for it was a large chore as the ground wiring was iffy and
not connected to anything, something I only found out after gently tugging
and having it come free in my hands.  The real ground was taped to it and
the whole time I was trying to get my multimeter to read a floating piece of
12" wire.  

    All is now well and I just finished a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
so I'm raring to go.  If you hear lovely music emanating from afar in the
next half hour, that'll my radio installation.

    Once again, thanks all,

    Glyn
