I was going to say that. the 80 amp breaker is the main house battery breaker.. If it's tripping then one of two conditions exist
One, you are pulling too many amps
Two: it's getting old and weak
Most likely causes of Conditoin ONE:
IF engine running (Fast idle at least) House batteries are low on charge
IF engine NOT running,, Chassis battery is low.
(On my Righ the jacks are a chassis feature, run off Chassis battery/Alternatorm, with ENgine Running, Not all are wired this way).
