FW: [A/S] 220 volt surge

["Chuck Smith" <chas231@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the good information.  Just as a follow-up, the owner is a nice
enough guy, but I won’t get much out of him.  He thought he plugged the
power cable into a 220 line in the kitchen of the bar/hotel, since
abandoned, next to the Airstream.  I’ll check the power cable – if it still
has the original end I think it’s a good bet he’s just confused.  I’ll let
you know.

I may be crazy, but I am considering purchasing a "project" Airstream.  I
have a 1983 31' Excella in great shape, but keep getting drawn to an old
1972 Overland that I think I could get for less than $500.  The shell looks
decent, but the inside needs a lot of work.  The owner swears everything
worked when he parked it several years ago - but there's no way to find out
and I'm assuming the worst.  Among many things he said that sent up a flag
was that he thought the trailer ran on 220 volts.  He thinks he plugged it
into a 220 volt outlet.  If he did, and with his deal there's just no way to
find out, would all the electrical devices and the univolt have been
damaged?
Thanks,
