  1. Get some info on a group called " Medishare " . I really don't know much about it but it's some kind of Faith based cost sharing insurance plan. Is " COBRA " still part of Fed employment rules ? It lets you retain your former employers plan for 1 year IF you want to pay the premium. With the so called ACA,, affordable health insurance for those that do not qualify for the subsidies is a thing of the past. My widowed Daughter raising 3 kids had insurance for about $400 monthly, ACA rose her premium to over $1000 plus &10K deductible.
  2. I don't have a fulltimers policy but also have SF and my homeowners, farm, car & truck, rv, & umbrella liability all bundled . The rv is $550 and last March had my only rv claim. I hit a tree at the farm getting the 5er parlked & did roof damage. Repair quotes to replace roof averaged 8900. That claim was worth having insurance. RV is a 2011 Jayco. If you set yourself up a hefty maintenance fund for repairs & those " oh no ! " events maybe no insurance on the rv but you do need something for liability.
  3. After all the years of either no jacks on a pu/camper , MH, & RV's using manual jacks suck. We added a hydraulic auto level to our current 5er. Do yourself a favor and spend the money. Every time you roll into a campsite & hit the button you will pat yourself on the back
  4. Yep, totally understand GFCI operation but never have figured out how this circuit worked for close to 8 years with the hot side feeding the GFCI gnd/neutral reversed in the panel then GFCI starts tripping until put on proper bus. I have figured that back EMF on the green gnd wire suddenly " fooling " the GFCI. Just an example of potential circuit failures that fall in the abnormal .
  5. Hello All. Just a problem I had last year that had me chaseing my tail and I'm a retired hvactech/electrician . I had the kitchen GFCI start tripping on our 2011 5er. Being 8 years old I just checked appliances and simply replaced GFCI. Worked about a week then started tripping again. I pulled the panel cover and started checking connections etc. pulled the Romex for circuit looking for Damage when the light bulb over my head went on. Since new, this circuit had the green ground attached to the neutral bus and the white neutral on the gnd bus. Only this GFCI wire done this way. RV's use a split bus neutral/gnd . Swapped wires and haven't had a problem since. I've had several conversations with other electrician and so far it's stumped all.Maybe the some corrosion had formed or slightly loosened on the neutral wire.
