There are 12 boxes in this storage area with 4 receptacles each. As far as I know, almost everyone has had problems. If I knew how to cheat the breaker I would do it on a temporary basis when I need to run my fridge for a short period between trips. Guess I would need to go into the owner's box and jump it out but shouldn't be messing with that.
As I said, I have driven a 6' rod in the ground to see if that may help. It didn't. All I do now, under normal circumstances is switch off the 12 v battery switch and hook up a trickle charger to the batteries. This works OK but I think a solar charger may be best. I would do this today but it needs to be permanent and I dread trying to route permanent wiring down the old fridge vent to the batteries. I pay $10/month for power so I guess it would be worth it in the long run, however, I would not be able to leave the fridge running.
