The moth is likely a Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus). It's a large North American moth with a wingspan of up to six inches. These moths are known for their eye-like spots on their hindwings, which are thought to startle predators. And I am sooooo proud of you for isolating and removing your battery charger circuit. Glad you took my advice! 😊

Looked like that moth could eat an entire cardigan in one sitting!

Well Done Jenna, I don't like messing with electricity either.

Great job Jenna. Glad you got rid of that pesky power converter.

Congrats on solving your electrical problems. Nice moth, too

The bugs are attracted to the light coming out of your trailer and the bat is attracted to the bugs!

Polyphemus moth, they are beautiful !!! Florida, USA

Good job on sorting out that wiring! The humming you heard was the 120v to 12v transformer located underneath the wiring panel you were working in. (closer to the floor) It's probably for the better that transformer is no longer live as they had a tendency to become very hot and burn / scorch the floor underneath themselves. They suck power too as you found out.

You did good girl. The second time you flipped the main breaker, my TV went black, a second or two later a commercial came on. 😂What timing. The power comes from the breaker, so the disconnected black wire has no power. You have your power draw fixed. Great Job!!!

So my idea for an air conditioner was for a 24 volt unit like the Zero Breeze, which will dehumidify an exhaust it's heat through a hose to the outside. This runs on 24 volt batteries which can be charged with your panels. I have one of these for camping. There are two or three knockoffs also available now. Much more efficient than the dehumidifier, which is heating up your space.

Jenna baby, you got this, everything is off and power cable is unplugged, you got this, im electrician, I knew you figure it out,

That Ramsey cracks me up so much!

Jenna, You are so cool and I admire you for your skills and working the problem. You are so cool!!!

The Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus) is a member of the Saturniidae family, also known as giant silk moths. It's a large, butterfly-like moth with a wingspan of up to 6 inches and is widespread in continental North America, including subarctic Canada and the United States. Took your picture and circled it and found that

You are a genius getting things figured out! Congratulations ❤.

Your a gem, same approximate age as my daughter, and she as you will tackle anything. Love u guys ❤

That was the first thing I realized when I started my power saving energy independence journey. I disconnected my inverter charger, since my house batteries are connected to my solar charger. it was amazing how much power draw that thing used, even without being hooked up to the batteries. The inverter charger is designed to charge the house batteries and run the 12V side of your RV. I started converting all of my electronics to DC only as much as possible, and am happy that my only AC needs are down to 3 appliances. 1) Rooftop AC that I converted to work like a house A/C, so it only turns on when my digital thermostat reaches the designed temperature. It also helps with humidity keeps my RV at around 25% to 30%. My AC is left on 24/7. (I do go up and clean the entire unit 2 - 3 times are year) 2) My 2.5 gallon water heater, and works great with reduced water pressure. I can take 10-15 minute hot showers, with constant running water. (Which is a long time for me). 3) Microwave. 4) Coffee maker. I am still hooked up to the grid so I have a power bill, but I reduced my bill from $250 a month to just $30. I can run my water heater, microwave, and coffee maker from my Ecoflow river 2 pro or delta 2, but I don't have enough solar to regenerate that much power, unless I pull it from my dc to dc converter in my car which is an EV that has a 14kwh battery. To be honest it's not really worth the hassle because at only $30 a month (a tank of fuel in a small pickup truck) , I can live with that. I use the upside app for cash back on gas purchases, so for every fill up on gas the cash back eats down my $30 a month electric bill.

Great video glad you fixed electric problem, There you go cooking them great meals again lol, Have a great day.

I did similar changing out my thermostat! Happy you didn’t get shocked and you fixed the issue!

Great job Jenna 👏 👍

Thanks for the encouragement to keep at things. I completely get being scared of the electrical, but you gotta do what gotta do!

You’re so handy with instructions. 😊 Good for you! ❤

I really enjoy your channel! Your my new favorite “Realist” Enjoy your day

YAAAAY!!!! We knew you could do it. Electricity is safe when everything is turned off and disconnected, but as an extra step ground out each terminal or wire momentarily before touching them. You'll not miss the sparks if there's power still there. Also in tight spaces use needle-nose pliers on the wire insulation rather than fingers to gain more working room. Hopefully your power problems are now all solved. That was a huge moth, and beautiful but things banging into the windows can be spooky. Where I was last set up I had a squirrel "alarm clock" as he trotted cross my roof every morning. I'm used to getting up early so no problem but I never quite got used to it. Things sound louder in a camper for sure! Enjoyed your fishing vid but forgot to comment. Once I fully retire I might take the sport up again. Stay cool Jenna 😎

😁 Hi Jenna. You are one of the few people that can make electrical wiring fun and funny. 🍻 Cheers.

A lot of weeds you're pulling up are eatable and medical just saying ❤❤❤ thank goodness you fixed your electric problem, love videos 🎉 what you made for dinner looks yummy 😋

Very exciting. Jenna's electrical engineering. ✌

You are a rockstar!

18:12 HAHAHAH yes girl 😂👍🏻. You are welcome GJ. I am so glad you fixed the hum and didn't shock yourself. Don't hurt yourself because we need you "oot" here 😊. And that pasta looked delish!!! I would eat it.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻we can do hard things! Good job

Glad you got that humming wire disconnected, got the weeds gone and had a really tasty dinner. You do good work Jenna. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

GJ, I had new crush and run put on my driveway of 34 years, never much issues with weeds. Now, the grass and weeds are growing everywhere like a lawn, lol. I’m starting to make natural weed killer too, works well, little slower but no environmental harness to ground, water, or or birds, thanks.

I have the exact same power station, and I also forget to switch the outlets on. All the time!! Glad to hear you have it all worked out. Oh, btw, I have a small pen like circuit finder that t lights up for finding AC power for safety concerns. They're cheap and highly recommended.

Great job again!! For some cooler days in lieu of fixing your roof mount a/c, a nice window unit could cost as low as $200 or less..just a thought..When in doubt, go fishing!!

Love your cats.......🐈‍⬛🐈

Good for you girl! I knew you could do it …. Kudos 👍 I believe the moth is a giant silk moth 😮

Congrats!!!

Some of those weeds you pulled are medicinal. I'm sure some of the experts here can tell you what they do. 😊😊

As long as you are not plugged in, and the batteries are disconnected, and your solar panels are off, that will be dead

That's the moth man look out 😊

Freaking out? Who us 👴 Proud of you, you figured it out. By the way, when external AC (shore power) is disconnected, there is no AC on the main breaker. When the main breaker is off, there is no AC on the branch circuits (the smaller breakers). Pesto and a loaf of Italian bread, life is good. Have a peaceful weekend.

That’s a blood sucking vampire moth … it’ll eat the kitties

You all realize the importance of JENNA , RV experiences ! That’s understood ! What I’m seeing above this is “ comedy talent at its best” JENNA has that natural flow of inheritance fun and frolics ! With that face and comedy talent , why doesn’t any producers in Canada or USA who scan youtube talent often see the potential for a future tv show , either involving RV industry or else !

The one from silence of the lambs...😮

❤❤I never use my battery charger on my inverter. I bought a battery charger 40amps and only use it with my generator. When I use my generator I plug in my charger for my batteries to my generator

Good morning Jenna, glad you got the draw problem figured i popped a cold one for you hehehe. That meal looked super good, great video and we will see you next week. Oh yeah seen your note 33x21 your hand good spot for them so you don't forget but then we forget to wash them off lol. BYE

You get so many things done in your videos (I realize they take longer than 15 minutes), that I am exhausted just watching you. Another great informative, practical and industrious video from Canada's leading DIY lady (or girl or young woman or whatever I'm supposed to call women your age now days, things used to be so much simpler, wrong but simpler, just like me). I love your home, the cats really 'tied' the room together as The Dude would say, thanks for inviting us in.

Good morning! Lol get that bat Ramsay! 😂 Wow...huge moth!

Really enjoyed the video. I am having the same issue with my fifth wheel. I’m going to tackle this problem over the weekend. Your video has given me some great ideas. Thank you.

You did great and beautiful moth..😊No wonder Ramsey wanted it.😅 My baby Brother stuck a Bobbie pin in a socket and kid you not he became an electrician. 😂

Awesome video that mixture on the weeds works well

Rock salt for the drive way. cheap and easy. spread an initial layer. right after a rain and a few days of sun follow. then mix in water and just pour as necessary to control. My drive was 80 % grass. now not a weed. Best to pour a bit on weed pull and pour a bit more in the hole. Guaranteed.

You need to call in Godzilla to take care of Mothra . Just make sure King Kong doesn't show up .

Never wear a hat when you are working on the panel box. If you do get a shock it’s much better to get a nice even frazzle in your hair😂👍👍

Thanks JG, great video. 22 minute video must have taken many hours to film and edit. KZfaq has become your second job. You weed killer worked amazingly well. I use the nasty commercial stuff and it does not work nearly that fast. Trial and error. And not getting shocked. Very good. Save the toad!

We did it Jenna let's go fishing

Eyed owl moth! ❤❤❤

Nice job finding that draw, process of elimination for the win. I said I’d send that 3000 watt inverter to you that was in a box stored somewhere, yeah I haven’t found it yet but I will and I will send it one of these days. Probably when I clean up the garage I’ll find it. I’ll try not to be too long.

I get the same size moth's at my camper plus bats makes for fun evenings

Well done! Have you never been shocked with AC before? It really gets the heart racing and you can actually feel the sine wave. 😆

The second time you flipped the breaker all of New York City went dark, great job on finding the issue and addressing it. We really appreciate all the time and effort you put in to make these quality videos.....

Nice video that was so funny about the large moth if you can you might want to wear some rubber gloves and safety glasses when you're working with it just to be a little safer especially since you're there by yourself your weed killer really worked I may try that recipe You did a good job girl

If the main power is off then you won't get a shock because there is no power to shock you, also you may need to remove the white cable that goes with the black one you removed because it is the neutral and can be energised, once removed there won't be any electric on either cable so you don't need to insulate the ends just move them out of the way of anything.

nice work glad you were safe thanks for weed killer recipe Hope to see vids sooner 😈

That's Mothra. 🇺🇸

Glad you got the problem solved 👌 👍 👏 🙌 🙏 😌 puts your mind at ease now rest easy Gypsy Jenna ❤

Mothman is real.

Great idea new EcoFlow delta pro 3 and EcoFlow delta smart Duo fuel Generator 4000 watts test it out on KZfaq video 😮👍

I'm really impressed at your willingness and ability to tackle jobs like the electrical. Forgetting to turn the power on your unit (solar) sounds like what I would do.😂 I'm with you on not wanting a lawn too. Thumbs up!😎👍👍

Don't feel bad I do this all the time when trying to figure something out. Lol

Great job Sparky!

Awsome. You diagnosed the problem and fixed it on your own. Good for you.

You have inspired me to buy a camper and I love it,

Hey Jenna, you can go to harbor freight and get a device you plug in to a socket, then go to your panel and scan the breaker, it will beep when you get the right breaker. Then you can mark which breaker does what. I mentioned in a comment that normally all you need to do is flip off the breaker for the controller. At least, that is how my Jayco camper works, but mine is factory wired, yours by whomever owned it before you. In the future, you could try some rubber gloves and/or grab the wire with insulated pliers. There’s so many of us that want to help, but it is hard, not being there. Wish you had some other Nomadic friends close by, when you get in a pinch. Looking at the comments, looks like you were successful, give the cats a pet from me.

It's a moth like in the Lunesta commercials

You should always double check a wire with a volt meter even if the power is off… ⚡️⚡️

14:15 ramsey about to prove the saying correct

Hey Jenna, I’m commenting ahead of the end but you mentioned batts and I chuckled to myself thinking, “what if she opens the door, and a bat comes inside”lol. ? Not that anyone would get hurt, but your commentary while that thing flew around your camper, and the cats going wild to get at it, just made me laugh. You know I’m a huge fan, always proper, you just tickle my funny bone with your mannerisms, lol. I remember how my cats would jump up from nowhere in the dark and start swatting and chasing something and it would be a flying bug of some kind. Wishing you all the best from VA.

Hard place to be, Messin with electrical, but you nailed it! Good on you girl. You’re killin this lifestyle too, 😂

nice job on the electrical. its always good to be wary of electrical stuff. caution keeps u safe. they make a tool in the electrical isle at home depot where it looks like a usb stick w points on it that will beep and tell you if a line or outlet is live for like 15 or 20 bucks. have u converted your camper lights to led bulbs or led fixtures? that will save a ton of energy too. them older bulbs they used are horribly energy inefficient. they make led bulbs that fit old fixtures at walmart but there kinda pricey for just 2.

lol...... I have done the same, forgotten to turn on the inverter breaker after working on my electrical system. Then spending time fault finding why I have no power, and I am very experienced working with electricity and off grid power 😂😂(25 years living off grid) It happens to the best of us 👍

You always surprise me Jenna . Giant moth , he wants to play with Rory and Ramsey. It must be us draining your power Gypsy. I love watching your adventures. Carry on Jenna.. Soon you’ll be a journeywoman electrician. Ramsey is ignoring you again bad kitty. One more time.

Hi Jenna, Rory 🐈‍⬛ and Ramsey 🐈👋🏻 Hope you're all doing well my friends 😊 Awesome that you were able to find and eliminate that power draw , way to go Jenna 👊🏻👍🏻 Wow that moth was gigantic 👀 Stay safe and take care 🙏🏻 God Bless 🫶🏻 Appreciate you always 🙂

great work on isolating the charger. listening to your thought process while working on that leads me to think your logic is better developed than you believe. great video.

Weeds are a constant pain in my yard, congrats on figuring out the converter.

Hi Jenna great job on electrical should mark the breakers if power is off you won't get shocked I love doing electrical work and love your cooking so stay safe dear always

Mb was here . Girlfriend you make me laugh 😂

Next time you can get a circuit tracer. It will make your job super easy. Also tag all your wires to know where they go.

Good Lord the moth looked like a Halloween decoration so beautiful. Poor Ramsey loves his water fountan . I like that weed killer it really works and safe.

Oh my goodness I’m gonna have to try that weed killer stuff

Good job Jenna!! You did it and didn't get bit! Good to see you being cautious though... A volt meter would be a much needed tool for the future. You can also use an AC light bulb temporarily to check for voltage present. Now the converter/ charger is disconnected your battery management job will be much easier. 🎉

Hi Jenna, Paaaaasta? LOL. Great video, Cool music. James.

It looks like a polyphemus moth. I have seen 3 in the past 2 year (near Moncton) The ones I seen were about 6" across the wings never seen any before that . I can not tell the size but the colours match. Hope this helps a little.

Thats a very nice moth. Living close to nature is great 😊

Nothing like a vacuum to suck up those spiders. No muss, no fuss. Cheers!

Lay clear plastic cover over gravel, sun will burn out weeds. Leave on for about 2 weeks.

As long as the batteries and AC is not hooked up, you're fine.

Great job 😂🎉 You might want to label that wire that goes to the 110V AC to 12V DC converter and crappy battery charger. Instead of putting on the marette you could insert it into the air conditioner breaker that way, if you ever want run your interior 12V lights from the converter with the generator running you could flip on the air conditioning breaker. Anyway on to the next job, chalk up another success!

Hey girl, hey❤❤

It's Mothra from Japan coming to destroy Canada..LOL
