Just got back from a practice round at the "Masters". I flew since I didn't have the RV fixed yet. Had fun but flying last minute is more expensive than diesel fuel!
Spent the day running a new circuit from the spare slot in the breaker box mounted under the fridge and ran it thru the basement in flexible conduit. Really pretty easy access. Ground fault circuit breaker works correctly (trips when test button is pushed). Converter works fine since it is on another circuit now. Smart move since the converter will draw up to 13 amps and had been on the same circuit with ceiling fan and light and 4 outlets.
Had to have been a slight drain in the circuitry of the converter that was enough to energize the trip solenoid but not trip it. The GFCI needs about 4-6 milliamps to trip.
