Well, I knew it would happen at some point. I was taking my bus out for a drive tonight and I forgot to unplug the extension cord from the shore power outlet on the side of the bus and so the extension cord pulled on the shore power outlet. It could have been worse, but it did snap off the ground prong from the shore power plug in.
(FYI, my bus is not my daily-driver and I keep a trickle charge on my camping battery that is powered when I plug the bus in to shore power.)
So, anyway, I can't remember what it looked like in there when I had that all apart eons ago. I was looking for a replacement part for it online and could not find anything. Anyone got a photo or schematic to share before I start taking it apart again. I searched around and could not find one for a '77.
Here is what it looks like with the ground prong snapped off:

Thanks! The Vanagon power inlet does look somewhat interchangeable. That is a good plan B. I want to try to keep it as stock as possible. Thanks! _________________ "The large print giveth and the small print taketh away."
