Can't get 12v power and boondocking
Hi - I'm a newbie RV'er and I'm having an issue. You guys have helped me before, and I'm hoping you might be able to help again. My Rockwood Roo 19 (2014) has been in storage on shore power for a coup...

Last update: as I've been driving on the road, the breaker has tripped a couple more times - I thought it might have to do with turning off/on the car, but that's not it - I can't reproduce the issue.
I'm sure it is just because it was a dry day, but I also got shocked by my car two or three times.
Anyway, the only common factor for this issue is when I'm towing.
Whoa there! Let's back up a bit. You got shocked by your car. Were you connected to the trailer. You might have a bigger issue than your breaker.
Sorry for the delay - as for getting shocked: yes, I was hooked up to the trailer. I get shocked from time to time getting out of my car (yesterday, not connected to the trailer) - it's typically on dry days where static electricity has built up. I don't think it's related to being hooked up.
I would have this checked. This could be caused by a reverse polarity in your shore line or improper grounding. This can escalate to electrocution.
