Everyone,
As promised, I’m updating you on my RV Electricity seminars this summer and fall. Fun will be had by all since I do a lot of live demonstrations about electrical testing and safety. And if all goes well, Chuck Woodbury and I will be live streaming these seminars from Hershey on several media channels. Of course, if you can’t attend in-person or watch the real-time live feed, I’ll be available 24/7 in reruns, just like “NCIS” or “Big Brother.”
I’ll be presenting two different topics at most seminar sites:
Surge Protector Theory and Selection – Hands-on demonstrations of how surge protectors work, what they protect you from and various models that offer different levels of protection.Â
RV Hot-Skin/Stray-Voltage Detection and Prevention – Hands-on demonstrations of what an RV Hot-Skin/Stray-Voltage is, how to detect it, and how to prevent it from happening to your RV.Â
