International Drive your VW to work day June 22

If you don't already drive your VW to work, you need to grab the keys on the morning of June 22nd and let it stretch it's legs with the rest of the commuters.

GFCI circuits on Westys or EVs

cbac writes "

This may just be a tip disguised as an article.

I had a shot dead GFCI on the 110AC circuit on the EV. Basically 110 runs from the outboard connection to the inboard through the GCFI. If it's bad, no AC to the outlets or the refrigerator.
