On my first outing with the GMC the A/C circuit that runs down the driver's side of the coach tripped and tripped immediately every time it was reset and power supplied. This circuit supplies the A/C outlets on the drivers side, including the one under the seat which the inverter plugs into. I took the breaker out of the box, and I checked the outlets and circuits and it appears the breaker is the problem, all of the circuits seem good.
It turns out that the breaker is an "arc fault" unit. These were not available when the GMC was built, is there any reason that I need to go back with this type of breaker? This was the only one in the box. The only reason I can see for using this one is that this circuit is in the proximity of the house battery when it is charging.
The price difference is about $30.00 or more, any thoughts from the experts here?
