Never a Dull Moment

While camping with a friend and her TT, she mentioned she couldn't get many TV stations on her batwing. I walked over and found a bad 15 amp blade fuse and told her to dig out her spare fuses and pop one back in. About 1/2 hour later she comes over to our site and says all she has is 8055 fuses. I was a bit baffled so I went over to look into her dilemma. She showed me in tiny letters (she thought they were numbers) embossed in the plastic head of the fuse the word BUSS. I explained that was the fuse manufacturer and in the future just look for the big numbers on the end like 20 / 15 / 10 and match em up. How she even saw the tiny word right next to the big amp number is a mystery as I had to really squint to see her discovery.

She could have said that she only had Buss fuses and none for the trailer, I heard that one once. Lol

The neat thing is that she asked instead of living with a problem. Good story agreed. John

RV's are not like houses and folks don't automatically know what to do. Great job helping her out!
