Need some Power Center help!
Greetings Everyone! Right to the point: I was having trouble with the AC tripping the 15amp breaker (in the home) where we were staying in Florida this past summer. So I jumped on RV.net and searched...

Your problem is the plain fact you are overloading the circuit. You CANNOT run a RV AC unit on 15 amp service like you are doing. When you do this, SOMETHING has to give from the heat build up and it is obvious your wiring at the breaker panel is taking the hit. If you did a full research on these forums you would see that trying to run a RV AC unit adapted down to a 15 amp circuit is not the right thing to do. The odds are your buss panel strips in the panel box have oxidized and cannot get a good tight connection when you try to secure the bare wires in the slots/holes. As another poster stated, you need to replace the 120 breaker box panel, cut back the Romex wiring until you get GOOD non burnt wires and secure, then NOT run the Units AC on that house circuit.
