GFI trips when generator used
Onan 2500 installed in a 2017 Wolf Creek 840 TC
I have a GFI outlet under the sink on wall with a reset button on it. It controls 2 other outlets, one outside by steps and one on the wall behind the kitchen sink. All works fine on shore power.
When I fire up the Onan a few seconds after the transfer switch powers camper sometimes the GFI trips and I lose power to those 3 outlets. All the other non GFI 110 outlets in the camper work.
This is an intermittent problem and some times works fine. Other times it'll trip once or twice I can reset the GFI with gen running and then work fine or it'll take a fit keep tripping and refuse to work at all. At this point just resetting the GFI causes it to trip again immediately. Turning off the generator and starting over is only way to reset GFI.
There may be some correlation with higher outside temperatures
and the likelihood of the problem happening.
How can I fix this?
