Jayco Flight Swift 264BH Breaker

[Delma]

Does anyone know what breaker I need to purchase for a 2014 Jayco Flight Swift 264BH. I was told I have a weak breaker my ac breaker keeps tripping then the 30 amp as well. I left to drive an hour to buy the replacement but goofy me left with writing down what kind or size or anything. Please help.

Someone with the same RV will have to answer this. The information should be on the door of the panel.

Assuming you have the same WFCO power centre as I have in mine, it should be a Square D Homeline... but a 'weak breaker' is a rare thing, and more often the breaker is doing it's job - doubly so if both the AC and main are tripping...

Sounds like you may have either a loose connection in your breaker panel or a low voltage situation. Low voltage can cause an increase in current draw.

Breakers will become the term weak breaker if they are overloaded and tripping numerous times. The mechanical parts inside start wearing.
If that is the case, like the Doc on Hee Haw says, Don’t do that!

Ok sorry for late reply Kevin Cooper and Grumpy ur opinion is needed, just going to explain my situation. My ac was dripping lots of water from inside near the ac vent/ filter and was not working properly We discovered the water pan was clogged extremely dirty the previous owner never ever cleaned it so my husband got on top opened it up And cleaned it thoroughly he noticed the coils needed to be cleaned as well so he cleaned it also. Put everything back as it was. Still ac not working properly but the ac breaker kept tripping he opened it up and seen the white wire was totally toasted he repaired it exactly as it was with new wire exactly as it was still having same issue but now sometimes the main breaker was tripping with the ac breaker. We called at ac profesional and they checked everything all was good but one line from ac the amp was low and we were told we needed to replace the breaker it was probably weak is why it kept tripping. May I have your opinions please??

My first question is, is the AC on a 15 or 20 amp breaker. How long from the time you turn it on, first startup not after a trip, does it go before it trips? Does the AC breaker and the 30a trip at exactly the same time?

I would replace the AC breaker and see if it stops tripping.

Let’s think this through. If it is a weak breaker, (which is possible) then it should be the only one to trip. The 30 should not trip because the AC breaker tripped. Indicating something other than weak breaker
I’m not quite understanding the, one line from the ac was low. There are two conductors that are required for 120 volts to work. A hot, and a neutral. If I’m understanding correctly one of them has more amps than the other. If that is the case, then something in the wiring is not correct. The hot and neutral should be exactly the same amperage.
A possibility is that your rv is not connected to ground allowing the hot to touch the ground and then the neutral and ground would share the amperage of the hot. Do you have a surge protector that tells you that the pedestal power is correct?
Help me understand a few more things please.
