generator popping gfi outlets
We've had our camper for a little over a year and in that time only used the generator a couple of times to run the microwave when camped without electric hookup. Those times I didn't notice any problems with any other circuits.
Yesterday we were in a primitive campsite and needed to recharge our e-books and a laptop so I crank up the factory built-in Onan 2.5 that came with our unit probably for an hour or so to do the recharge. Both GFI outlets popped. One is in the kitchen with nothing plugged in and the other is in the basement storage area with the converter plugged in. With this one popped there is no way to charge the house batteries with the generator.
This is our first experience using a generator so haven't a clue whether this is normal or not. Also found out that the Onan 2.5 drinks lots of LP.
