Checking For A Hot Skin

Sounds like you are checking to see if you have been in the sun too long.   Nope, it is checking to see if your RV has a faulty 120 volt electrical current issue that could be deadly. 120 volt electrical issues could be with the shore power pedestal, a faulty cord, or a problem with the 120 volts system of your RV. The minimum you will need is a circuit analyzer, and a non-contact voltage detector.   These come in all sizes and prices.   I personally use the Camco Power Defender surge protector/Circuit analyzer shown below.   First make sure that the 30 amp breaker is off at the shore power pedestal.   Plug up your circuit analyzer and turn the power on.   Make sure the lights on your circuit analyzer show that all is good.   If you get any other reading than all is good, do not connect your RV to the pedestal, and notify the campground staff.

Grey Wolf 26DBH Water Pressure Regulator

Use a water pressure regulator on your city water connection!   Why wouldn’t you?   Why would you risk hooking up to a water system that the water pressure is 150 psi and blow your plastic RV water lines and possibly cause extensive damage?   You can get a regulator that restricts water pressure to about 40-50 psi at Lowes, Amazon, or an RV supply store for around $9.00.   So please protect your investment and use one.
