hot wires

[dsprik]

I checked mine about a year ago when this came up before. Surprisingly all screws were tight - like Keystone had read about this problem on the MOC and made sure when mine came off the line, everything was snugged.

However, as mentioned above, they can come loose, so I will check again. Thanks for this thread...

I just got back from checking behind the panel. No terminal/barrier strips that I can detect (even used a flashlite) mounted anywhere within the enclosure where all boxes are mounted. On the 12 volt fuse panel there are two red heavy gauge wires connected to the back with screws and all the other wires connecting to fuse panel are push on connections. On ours, I see little reason to pull any complete assembly from the wall except for the 12 box to check the supply/distribution wires and connections. If I missed something, hope someone can set me straight. There is an AC receptacle that something is plugged into. I forgot to trace it out and see where it went. It is mounted on the outside wall portion of the enclosure.

I also check all my connections. A few years back with our SOB, I had noticed that the power was out and the battery was almost dead.
The screw holding down the black wire on the converter had come loose and the black wire had fallen out. These campers do alot of shaking on the road so this can be expected.

Went out today and checked our wires and found that most were lose and could be turned. Now they are all tight. Thanks for the info.

Here is a suggestion that Ozz has given in the past that I followed. When you guys tighten the set screws all you are doing is mashing the copper wire and spreading it out. I soldered the ends and then tighten the set screws, this will give you a hard baring point for the screw to set on.
