After checking out Jeffery Raymond’s post on Electronic Gizmos, I figured I’d share a persistent issue I’ve been facing, hoping for some feedback or ideas.
Occasionally, when connected to shore power, my computer chimes in with a notification saying that there’s reversed polarity along with a ground fault issue. My electrical gauge panel echoes this with “Reversed Polarity” and “Ground Fault” warnings. The first time this happened, I panicked a bit, but after a quick check, I confirmed that the polarity throughout the coach was correct. I tested all outlets, inside and out, and everything seemed fine. Oddly enough, this has been a consistent issue at multiple campsites, as well as back home, where the electrical setup is reliable.
I thought I had this figured out until recently. While running off the generator, completely disconnected from shore power, the same “Reversed Polarity” and “Ground Fault” indicators lit up. And now, I’m scratching my head!
Every time the lights come on, they aren’t fully lit—ranging from faint to moderately bright, and they fluctuate in intensity.
Anyone else run into something like this? Would love to hear some thoughts!
