I had a power outage about 2 am sun morning. After talking to others they all had power. So I started checking the GFI and it was not tripped. Got out my good ole Amprobe and stated checking around different outlets to no avail. Noticed the microwave was off. I started ckecking in the panel, one circuit had 70 volts(never seen this before). At this point I turned to this forum and as usual some one had commented that the Heartland tech said to check the inlet plug, that some of the wires will come loose( I thought this was strange coming from a company tech). I pulled it off the wall and sure enough the ground and the neutral were loose. I thru the outlet in the trash(cheap) went to west marine and purchased the proper marinco plug. All is fine. I am posting this to thank all of the members for there help. This is a great source.
