Freedom 458 issue - good ending

A couple of weeks ago I plugged my coach into power at home. Checked my monitor and it was not charging. All worked fine on generator and we had a couple of trips planned, so decided will troubleshoot another day. Well, I pulled the panel over the 120 volt lines. All looked good, at least visually. Removed the wire nut and the solid conductor had broken inside the wire nut. Obviously a long time ago someone (me? or factory?) had scored the conductor and it finally broke. Cheap fix.

Just in case someone else has an issue.

Just be aware that the specs show that the Freedom 458 is a modified sine wave inverter. If you have a residential refrigerator you could have problems. Also some electronic devices do not like modified sine wave power.
