[Gmcnet] 110V Circuit breaker

Rob,

I believe Royals were not wired the same as GMC furnished coaches.

Unless the PO made some very strange modifications, I can think of 
absolutely no reason that anything has to be done to change from gen set 
power to grid power.  You plug the cord plug into the gen set socket in the 
coach and start the gen set, and get power.  You plug the same cord set into 
grid power and it should work the same.  There is no reason for a circuit 
breaker to be switched at all.

Again, who knows what a PO has done.  But the original wiring would not 
cause any issues if the cord/plug was switched from one to the other.  You 
may have to have someone with good electrical knowledge look to see what is 
going on in your coach, and hopefully change it back to the original 
configuration.

All anyone can do here is guess at what modifications were done.  That is 
not good enough.
