Power Problems at Campground

So it's this Camco 55301 Voltage Defender EMS ... an example why a model with voltage display is more useful. Low voltage threshold is 102 vac for this model and I'd suspect it's just doing what it's designed to do - disconnect power to the RV whenever the supply voltage drops below 102 vac. Without voltage monitoring though you're just guessing so I'd suggest you invest in an inexpensive DVM so you will know what that incoming source voltage is.

What have you got running? Sounds like you may be overloading the 30A circuit.

I had similar problems this spring with 50 amp surge guard. Would shut me off sometimes immediately, sometimes intermittent. Tested every power pedestal and all checked out good but still had the problem. In three different cases, three different parks I moved to a pedestal on a different circuit and problem disappeared. Any kind of fault will cause that to happen. In my case the voltage was never too high or low. It was detecting some kind of fault . In my case I think the surge guard was doing its job even though I think the coach would have been fine on the same power with out the guard. Mine is permantly installed

I am using the Power Grip - Voltage Protector - 30Amp. It does not show the voltage, only lights to indicate an issue. I have used it many times at various campground with A/C on and had no problem. The campground power at my site only, cut off and I had to reset by turning power off and on again at the pedestal. I will try this again at another campground in a few weeks, just want to make sure my rig is ok before a long summer trip. I think it was a problem with the campground pedestal but want to be sure. Thanks for all you suggestion, I will check them out.

Any chance it is a GFCI breaker?

How much power are you using? Put the fridge and water on propane only.

I would do some minor maintenance.
Disconnect from shore power, remove cover from 120 volt AC power panel. Inspect and tighten all the electrical connections paying attention to the white neutral connections. Look for wrinkled or melted insulation on the wires.
Is this what you have?
Camco Surge Protector

Does this happen at other plug ins, at home for example? What was the weather looks? Was it dry, or have recent wet weather? With wet weather, the rain may have seeped into somewhere. If its dry, or happens at other locations, it may be your cord or trailer.

Surge protector only or an EMS w/surge protection? What model? What was the voltage when you lost power? If what you have is actually an EMS then perhaps the source voltage fell below the low voltage threshold and the EMS did exactly what it was designed to do - disconnect power to the trailer.
