^^Damned small world, John... check your PM's.
ACE, I'm a proud amateur multimeter user... as in, as long as it's either 12volts or 120AC I probably won't kill myself checking things. I've got the $8 Harbor Freight model and will get to checking things tomorrow.
I'm going to pull the electric element and the thermostat and replace them both just for good measure since it's a used RV they're cheap. There's a Camping World about 30 minutes from here and I've got a few other excuses to go there.
