I tried plugging in the shore power cable to my garage power outlet and it immediately trips the test/reset circuit and I cannot get any power inside the camper, and as a result, unable to charge the batteries. I tried several outlets in my house with a long extension cable, and none of them worked. Now these same outlets all powered my 5 other RV's/trailers without issue. Now oddly, it will not work plugged into my garage, but I tried plugging directly into my portable Yamaha 2000W generator and everything inside powered up fine.
I had the same thing when my electric water heater element was broken. Even when it was turned off. To test, remove the wires from the heater element and plug it into the plug that was tripping the first time.
Where are the wires to the element located? Do I need to take out the water heater?
