I plugged the coach into the same outlet as always for shore power. The GFI
in the outlet pops. I reset it, it pops again. Never happened before.
I flipped all the circuit breakers to "off" in the coach and then turned
them on one by one.
When I turned on the water heater and main, the GFI popped. I manually
turned off the switch for the water heater, all is well, turn it on.the GFI
pops.
I turned on the fridge using ac, the GFI pops.
Anything plugged into the three outlets below the water heater switch will
pop the GFI such as..
The 12 vdc converter (boondocker), plug it in the GFI pops.....but, if I
plug in the microwave to any of those three outlets it powers up just fine.
I plugged in a different converter, with no load on it, the GFI pops.
I plugged the boondocker directly to the same outlet I use for shore power
and it runs just fine powering the coach. I run an extension from any
outlet in the coach to the boondocker when the coach is connected to the
outlet used for shore power, the GFI pops.
While this is going on not once did any of the circuit breakers or fuses in
the coach pop.
I pulled everything apart, check all the connections, tightened all the
screw post on the water heater switch, outlet, and circuit breaker box.
Just for grind I tried all of the above with a different shore power outlet,
same results.
I'm baffled
