Need some help, shore power tripping breaker/buzzing
My fifth wheel has been sitting all winter and I just pulled it out to set it up for some friends who are staying over for the weekend.
We cleaned it out, plugged it in, everything was fine. Then all of a sudden the circuit (HOUSE circuit, not RV circuit) tripped. Now when I try to plug it in I hear an audible and frightening buzz and the breaker trips in about a second.
What's really odd is that I turned off ALL the RV breakers and it still does it. SO does that mean something is wrong with the shore plug?
I used a different extension cord, heavy duty and shorter, and a different house circuit and the same thing. So if the breakers are off and just plugging the cord into shore power trips the shore breaker I'm thinking that there must be a short in the shore plug connector, it's a little loose feeling and the bottom isn't very tight, separation between outer jacket and inner jackets of the wires/plug. Could that cause this problem?
Going to try replacing that but though I would check in with the experts here. :)
Thanks
