..electrical.

I was working on rewiring a utility trailer. In the process of replacing the broken lights, I found out my 4 pin wire connector on my truck is broken.

Now to fix the tow vehicle.....

Still need to fix the wiring on my old camper in the bush......


Did I mention I hate working on electrical?

You missed a few :W

Not sure how many amps a penny can handle, but probably more than 15.



Uh......nine more amps than a penny? Whatโ€™s the foreign currency exchange rate?



My personal favorite :C

True that i never did industrial. Worked as a commercial electrician about 20 years ago. Bending small emt. I know what you mean though about the bigger stuff. I would go into places like home depot and trip out on the large conduit.

That maybe true for a maintance electrican, but you ought to try industrial/commercial construction.

I'd rather deal with a black water leak any day. I can see it. Nasty infection, or death? RV voltage and current is enough to kill you.


To each his own. I can โ€œseeโ€ electricity too, with my VOM.

Whenever I have to deal with a plumbing issue that involves sewage, I have an almost irresistible urge to scratch my nose the whole time. :B

Unless I need to run new wires, my chair is comfortable at the height off the lights.

Especially in RV's because they use a common ground. If you can't find the ground wire in that spaghetti mess of wires, the only option you have is to run a new line with a new ground. Of course if this is the scenario, you likely have a bunch of other things that aren't working right too.
