Hi Guys,Sorry to be a pain but, I'm confused. I did the breaker routine and found the circuit that is tripping the GFI. However, the breaker is marked general, Where the heck do I start? I am not an electrician.

I don't recall the context - you've got a GFCI outlet that's tripping with no load (nothing plugged in) or under load (something plugged in)?What's tripping - the breaker or the outlet itself?There are usually several outlets on any circuit. What's going on with the other outlets?

Remove the GFCI receptacle from the wall.Disconnect the load side of the wiring, back of receptacle will indicate "Load".See if GFCI trips. This will or should prove whether it is the GFCI or beyond it.Get one of the little plug in style circuit analyzers to find which receptacles are fed from the tripping GFCI receptacle. Could be something plugged in to the receptacle or could be refer element going to ground.Report back!

CONverter?Yank the shore power connection. Disconnect the BLACK 120 volt wire connected to the converter where it is marked LINE. Tape the end of the disconnected black wire. Connect shore power. Does the GCFI fault? It's silly to connect a converter to GCFI. Methinks there is misdiagnosis going on here. Never have seen an RV use a decent GCFI. And I would not be caught dead with a Leviton. Go to HOME DESPOT and forget the bargain GCFI units. Purchase a 20-amp rated quality brand. Install it then light it off to test.

The other breakers and outlets are ok. I think this circuit has something to do with the inverter and battery charging.
