I am sitting at work and thought someone could give me a place to start before I delve into the manuals tonight. I plugged the coach into ground power and it tripped the main breaker. The roof AC will work but not the inverter. It is the breaker that the "push to test" button. Not sure what that services but wondering if a bad inverter will cause that. I will unplug the inverter tonight and see if the breaker still trips but was wondering what the collective wisdom might be on where to start?

Thanks

PS, we have half heartedly tried to sell the coach but may get real serious about it. There is an Airstream 390XL that we are looking to get and do not have room or funds for two coaches. Just sayin....

Wayne;
If you are talking about a GFI outlet that is tripping, check to make sure
that the water heater ground is
NOT connected to the neutral or white wire at the water heater and also
check the panel to make sure that
there are no ground wires going to the neutral bar.
Unlike house wiring, all ground wires in your coach should be connected to
the ground bar in the panel.
