I loved the movie. I was already into busses, and that movie really made me want one!

Speaking of the RV movie and forgetting to unplug your power cord.

I know of someone that is looking for a transfer relay for a Todd Engineering 50 amp transfer switch.

the number looks like lr353  or e1491.

also said cat. no. tes-350

if any one has one or knows where to get one I will pass on the info. The tight wad does not want to buy the whole transfer switch.

also he will not admit to driving off with it plugged up.

Snicker-snicker, I know a guy who did just that, except it was the waterhose.  Tore the water receptacle right out of the ground and drug the hose behind his MH all the way to town, some 17 miles before a passer-by noticed it and told him about it.   The one's that crack me up are the jobbies tooling down the Super Slab with the TV Antenna still up in the air, always gets me to smiling.

I believe that the Todd switch used Square-D contactors.  These are actually interlocked three phase motor reversing contactors.  I can't help with part numbers but if you take them to an electrical parts house, they may be able to match them. An industrial electrician who know motor controls can probably help but the average residential guy won't.

You can probably replace the whole thing for less than the contactors.

BTW, I have the same switch and I was able to get it working by removing the contactors and cleaning them well with electronic contact cleaner (NOT WD-40) and compressed air.  They are pretty rugged compared to the Iota and other cheaper transfers.  They are pop riveted in place but not hard to remove and re-rivet.

Reminds me when I was in the gasoline nozzle rebuilding business of one of my customers calling me to replace a nozzle and hose that a lady had drove off with in her tank. I replaced said parts and gave them the bill which they paid and said the wife's husband was really giving his wife the riot act about how stupid can you be to do that amound a few other words.  The following week same call same location.  This time when the man and his wife came in to pay the bill, over a $100 each time, he did not say a word.  His wife just smiled, yep you gussed it he did it the second time.  I always wondered how long he slept on the couch and fixed his own meals.  As the saying goes PAY BACKS ARE HELL.

I have a friend who used to work for the state weighmaster division in Oregon.  One night he pulled over an immigrant coming across his scale with a semi who had the nozzle and fuel hose still in his tank.  Upon questioning he had been dragging it for 350 miles.  Oblivious.
