Smoking GFCI outlet
With the engine running I turned on the inverter (Xantrax 2000 watt Freedom 20) and one of the GFCI outlets inside the coach began buzzing and smoking. Turned the inverter off and the smoking stopped....

Depending on what you find you may just want to replace the GFI entirely. Get an electrical person to help you if need be.

This is was what I found behind that pesky GFI plate in my MH.
I was probably about an hour away from a fire. :(
AND it was still working and light on I didn't even suspect the GFI. I just kept smelling a fairly faint odor of a burn smell when the windows were all closed spent hours trying to find out where it was coming from.
