New Owner needs some orientation

[Joe Camper]

Good thread. couple even unrelated reasons

Those Pesky GFI have the ability to really confound new owners the way they take out other components and acessories in all different locations that the one in question.

Some Liberys for example front window shades that are 110 volts a/c and if the gfi on the backsplash in the kitchen pops you cant raise the windshield shades.

After2 days of driving with the shades pinned up while going over and over the d/c distribution panel looking for a breaker did a call to North Chicago and the guys that built it, lead us to the glitch. Some libertys have d/c shades others have a/c shades.

Getting off thread here a bit but I mention all this for the orphan aspet of your camper for the benifit of the lookers we have. Another great topic of discussion on its own merit.

He has an American Conversion they are not around any longer so you dont have the luxury of converter support any longer. Unfortunatly with what recent years have brought us that would probably include a bigger percentage of us than not.

SO

if the advice already given was tried and either helped or not.

Before you purchased that American knowing it was an orphan.

Help us all learn. What was your thought process on this topic. Did it even seem important before getting it.

Did you find out who were those guys where? Where did they end up?

Who has of all the intelectual property of that company now? If not, are there POGers who know this stuff about American post up Id be interested in it.

Who might be the right guy to have in your phone for "stuff" that you know is gonna stump you?

If your asking here thats whats leading me to these inquirys? Already made thatcall and no answer?

Inquiring minds would like to know.
