Polarity Lights Modification
I talked with Doug Hampton at PMMI today regarding the modification to
the polarity lights in the outside power connection panel. I mentioned our coach has the polarity lights in the galley panel as well. Doug said both panels need to be modified to stop tripping the 15/20 amp GFIs. Per Doug the galley panel modification is the same as the outside panel, but is more difficult to do. Has anyone removed the galley panel? Any pointers? -- Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38, Anaheim Hills, Calif. |

Curt,
I removed the Galley Panel on my 87FC35 without any problem it is very easy. I think about 6-8 screws to take the panel itself off, then a few more to take the voltmeters off the panel, and a few electrical connections (be sure to unplug the bus from any power sources first, and it doesn't hurt to shut down the master 12V switches too). The bad news - after replacing the polarity indicators in both the galley and by the power cord inlet, I still trip the GFI outlets. I'll have to troubleshoot that some more, maybe it is something else, like the battery charger or something.

Thanks, Rick. I'll hang on to your post and others for when I get to
that project. I'm leaning toward sending the panels to PMMI for the mods. Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38, Anaheim Hills, Calif.

I was tripping the GFI, and started pulling the covers
off electrical receptacles, and found a loose ground wire in one in the bathroom. Tightenedâr up and havenât had a trip since.
