Am I missing something about the Great Reverse Polarity debate.
I am new to motorhoming but not new to European electrics. I lived in Holland for three years and Hungary for 20. I have recently returned to the UK after a 9 month trip around Europe, stopping in 11 different countries. I have never had any problems with reverse polarity. My computers never broke down, my cooker worked, the TV worked, the video worked, in fact everything worked.
After all, the polarity changes 50 times a second with mains electrcity. That's how it works.
When repairing a deveice sensible people simply unplug the item or turn of the electricity at the mains. In the case of a motorhome, disconnect the hookup.
Don't worry. Do not buy any silly reverse polarity detectors or make your own "reverse polarity reverser". There's no need.
Go abroad and relax in the knowledge that the many millions of people living on the mainland of Europe do not have reverse polarity problems.
