Received my new M211 yesterday. Today I gave it a test run. I adjusted it to weld two 1/8 inch flat washers. That worked great. Now I got under a 40 foot RV 5th wheel trailer. Had to weld a piece of steel boxed 1x2 x1/8 to a 1X2x1/8. I could not weld it because I could not get the base metal hot enough to even create a weld puddle. Now here is where I think my problem was. I ran a 115 volt line to the RV for about 75feet than from a receptical of the RV I ran another 115 volt line 50 long to the welder. I think I was running to long a line to the welder. Please tell me that was my problem or do you folks think it is something else. I know running that long a 115 line I must have had a voltage lost to the welder. When I adjusted the welder at my RV I had a 10 foot line from the power panel. I did not have any problems at all.
