I have done minor in-home electrical HM things, ceiling fans, light switches, dimmer switches, etc. After I plugged the rig into a non-gfi plug at the house, everything works fantastic; no issues.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.

On the back of a typical 120V outlet, there will be two silver and one green screw on one side, and two gold screws on the other. The BLACK wire(s) connect to the gold screws, the WHITE wire(s) to the silver screws, and the BARE (or green) wires to the green screw.

Make sure with a Volt meter the circuit is dead before fiddling with it, or you'll be peeling yourself off the ceiling (or worse).

I would first check that the bonding is not being done in the RV electrical panel. This can usually be checked visually. I'm really comfortable going beyond this.

If you have a DVOM (multi meter) unplug the coach and measure resistance from neutral to ground. If it is open no bonding or shorts.

Before trying to adjust or replace the thermostat, check to see if a vent is directly blowing on it shutting it down prematurely.

Checked all outlets, all good, no issues according to the outlet tester. Happy about that. Did replace the thermostat with a manual heat-only one. Made some adjustments and it works fabulous. All is good. Thanks for all you people's help and suggestions.
