Sorry for the delay but I'm finally getting to checking the camper. I pulled the breaker box out and everything looks ok albeit a little dirty. I then removed the battery which was dead and have tossed it on a charger to see if its any good. Next I found the converter/inverter which looked normal but I once again found a house style outlet that the inverter was plugged into along with another bare wire (house style 120). I have pictures of all this I will post in the morning.
I decided to plug the inverter straight to my house outlet and give everything a shot. With just the inverter plugged in all of my lights worked again. Also my fan/AC clicked for me. So I then hooked the camper plug up to my house as well (30amp plug) and tried the breakers again. Once again my house breaker tripped. So I tried it again but this time I left the "general power" breaker tripped and reset all the others. Wouldn't you know it my AC kicked on, the lights work, microwave works etc. But if you try that general power breaker everything trips again.
So now my next question is what would cause this?
