WW toy hauler electrical

The other night the breaker tripped On the electric panel I’m plugged into so I reset it and my 2 bathroom plugs still are not working and I tried to reset the GFI outlet but it still will not reset. All the fuses are good and no breakers in the 5th wheel are tripped. I ran out of ideas on what it could except for the possibility of the actual GFI plug itself.

  • AC doesn't come on, that sounds like a breaker.
    You have breakers inside the trailer and breakers on the genny itself.
  • Well that didn’t take care of the problem but when I pulled the plug out there was some build up kind of a fungus in there so water had been getting into the plug so I’m gonna go ahead and change the plug out because the connections are all kind of corroded but the other thing my girl told me because we’ve been doing the work on it and she was there Sunday doing some work in the bedroom she had the AC on But then yesterday she was there finishing up the work and the AC wouldn’t come on so all this happened at the same time I believe so I’m gonna need to track that down too

So that’s probably the culprit so I will blow it out with my air compressor when I get home and see if that fixes the issue.


    I bet that is it. Good luck.

    My compressor didn't dry it enough, plus I was impatient. So I took it apart and bypassed it completely.

  • Couple of years ago, at the dunes, major rain storm came in from the west.
    Door side of the trailer was facing west.
    Middle of the night, GFI tripped and I couldn't get it to reset so genny wasn't charging batteries.
    In the morning, traced it down to the outlet next to the door had gotten water in it and caused the trip.
    Got it all dry and back together, everything worked fine after that.
    Just my experience.
