has anyone had problems with there unit tripping the house breaker when in storage, mine does it but not right away sometimes it will go a couple of hours other times it may take only 30 minuets I have replaced the breaker.
any ideas,
Thanks
 
What sort of outlet is the rig plugged into? 15-amp or 20-amp "regular" outlet? Or is it a 30-amp or 50-amp RV outlet?

If it is a 15 or 20-amp household outlet, is it a GFCI breaker or just a regular circuit breaker? If it is a GFCI, it is not uncommon for the shore power GFCI and the onboard GFCI to have a "conflict" and the shore power GFCI will open and cutoff power.

If it is a traditional breaker opening what items are still turned on in your coach? You might try turning off the rig's breakers, except for the "Converter" breaker. Keeping that breaker turned on will keep the rig's batteries charged, and you can see if that allows the shore breaker to stay energized. If that indeed works, try turning on the other breakers until you find out what circuits trip the breaker.
 
Hey Rob
I just built this house, and of course with the new code's everything on the electrical is the ground fault breakers, I installed a 50 amp just for the coach, the electrician keeps telling me that it's a problem with the coach of course. So I guess I'll try and old style breaker and see.
Thanks Kvick :cool:

Your rig should have its own GFCI breaker, you might try just turning it off in the coach, and see if anything changes. Worth a shot!
