Electrical Question 2017 Alante 31V

How do I find out what outlets are powered by what circuit? I have a problem with blowing breakers and GFI, and it would be nice to know what goes to where. When the generator is operating vs shoreline plugged in.

I like to use a Skillet when cooking breakfast, and when weather permits, I cook outside. Seems like the draw is too much for the GFI circuit located in the outdoor entertainment center.

Get a plug in circuit tester.
Shut off one breaker at a time and see which plugs go dead.
Or plug a light into each outlet and map breakers to determine which plugs are on same breaker.
Repeat for each breaker.

The only difference between shore power and genset is the power source. They both feed the distribution panel and the same breakers located on the converter. On my MH there's a transfer switch that automatically switches to genset source (after 20 seconds) if it's running.

Inside your compartment with your propane and batteries is a connection for a propane hose. Get a grill that runs off the propane. (Or convert one you have) We use a Coleman stove. It works great. The coach runs off 30 amp, and the power management system works well, but the shore power breaker will trip is you pull to much juice. Running off the propane for cooking solves that issue...... Enjoy your coach.

Looking at this guy here. Not sure about the sides not coming up to keep my runny foods from going all over, but this might do the trick, and I can get rid of the electric skillets then.

Just need the proper hoses to hook it up to the Coach.

That grill looks nice. I use this one. It lets me but accessories for a flat top, a grill or a grate which allows me to put a skillet on it. I followed the instructions from this gentleman in the video to convert it for my RV. It works as promised. https://youtu.be/cq9yZ6y-H2s

You do have to be aware of what is on the same circuit. We tripped the switch at genset in Texas when the a/c was on and we turned on the microwave while on generator power. I agree with the idea of using a propane grill outside, which we have and uses the included quick disconnect.
