Problem w/GFI Outlet
I'm having trouble with my GFI Outlet under the center island kitchen reseting for no reason. It's parked on a semi permanent site and doesn't reset while we are there every weekend, but sometime during the week it's tripping for some reason. The only thing running on it during the week while we are gone, is the outside fridge in the outside kitchen.
Anyone else have this issue? Sometimes it will go for 2 weeks and not trip, other times just a few day? This is on a 2016 Eagle 325BHQS.

Most likely the source of the troubles is the electric service coming in. Ours blew when a lighting hit close to us. Do you have electric protection on your incoming electric ? Over/under Surge protection?

When you say "keeps resetting" do you mean tripping? A GFCI outlet needs power to it in order to reset. If you are trying to reset after a trip, make sure there is power on the line side of the outlet before you try to push the reset button.

I do not. I am on my own pole and electric, not campground supplied. But I'm sure that doesn't matter per your question.
Not doubting you as you may have a good point, but don't see how it would start all of a sudden. Never had problems like that before?

Replace it. Fixes the issue in most cases.

The GFI? That was my first intention.

Mine was tripping in frequently a few years back. I just bought a new one and installed it. No more problems.
I now carry a spare.

That's probably going to be my first troubleshoot! Thanks.

My 2016 BHQS is doing the same exact thing. That's actually why I'm on the forum tonight. I just took it in for this reason (and the fridge was throwing an error code also). Service guys said they could not get it to duplicate. I am on my own pole with a hard wired surge guard installed.

It does not matter if you are on your own pole... a surge guard is one of the best investments you can make in RVing.. if lightening strikes the line it will fry everything in your RV.. and if there is a problem on the line with under or over voltage you are protected.. the only time I plug in the RV is at home and I have a hardwired unit.. cheap insurance...

You are correct, it does not matter where you are plugged up to. And you're also correct about cheap insurance, I've just never had one.

Our 2017 Jay Flight 28 RBDS is doing the same thing. The GFI for the outside fridge keeps tripping (which is also connected to a few inside ones). It happens at random times and seems to be an intermittent issue.
We have a list of other issues for our dealer to look at under warranty and this problem is on it. Hopefully just replacing the GFI outlet takes care of it and that it's not a bigger issue.

Me thinks they have installed a batch of bad outlets.
I spoke to StaMic006 through text just a bit ago, and he said his was tripping even without the fridge plugged in. Sounds like bad outlets but I'm no electrician.

GFI's do go bad, four to six yrs is pretty common life span.

Mine has also been tripping at random times on my 355MBQS. I thought it was the kids at first pushing the trip button on the GFI but has done it a few times with them not being around.

Once again, makes me think they got a bad batch of outlets.
