** 2 hours after arriving,  we started experiencing power brown outs.  6 brownouts in an hour.  I removed the external surge protector.  More brownouts occurred.  We heard a clicking in the open transfer box.  I removed the cover and found the main White electrical wire was tarnished and showing signs of burnt insolation.  This is the neutral wire for shore power.  My attempts to tighten the screw failed.
   One more brownouts after 1.5 hours at 7:36 pm.
   Another series of BO at 8:20 pm.  Turned off heat pump and turned on propane heater.  We are planning on leaving Friday morning, so we can get this short fixed in Amarillo.
