We traced it down to the “straw that broke the camel’s back” were three electric air fresheners my wife purchased. Removed them and has been good since then.
The problem has now reoccurred. The only difference this time is we have replaced our Dometic refrigerator, this past summer with a residential compressor type. The breakers were not tripping then. We always ran the Dometic on electric.
My question: Does the residential refrigerator draw more current than a Dometic running on electric?
What is the listed amp rating of the new refrigerator? Also what else are you running on electric(water heater, space heater, etc.)?
