GFI plug
#3

most of our coaches do the same. my 90 did as well. i had to plug into a non gfi outlet when at home in the driveway in mesa. i have one non gfi 20amp outliet in my shop. my daughters older bumper pool trailer trips a gfi as well.

if you do a google search you will see tons of other people with the same problem. my guess is newell never ever checked our coaches when they built them on a 20a gfi protected circuit.

there are many possibilities as to why

a gfi outlet trips when it detects more than 5milli amps of current difference between hot and neutral. heating elements are common culprits as are air conditioners and charger converters.

i just dont worry about it. if you want to figure out what circuit is causing it, then turn off all your breakers and plug in. if it doesnt trip, then start turning on breakers one at a time to see which circuit trips it.

it is all about grounds and neutrals.
