For my friends who are concerned... Thank you!
My camp is shut for the winter, and won't be opened again 'til spring. Since I don't really trust the "approved" guys who are authorized to work in the campground I'll bring in someone from outside.
Both of the men I asked for quotes seemed confused about where to start, and indicated that it might take a very long time to find the problem... One said it might be necessary to tear off some of the siding. I don't mind spending money for work being done... just don't like the thought of paying for "experts" to learn. So the question... "at most, what do you think this could cost?" $500?, $1,000? more and the answer "could be more" didn't inspire confidence. Since there isn't much work in the campground in the winter, giving an open-ended OK, doesn't work with me...
Still, it seems to me that there must be a way of putting a test meter on the circuits to find where the problem may be.
Will let you know in the spring...
