Hi all, I have been having a problem with plugging into the shore power at our storage facility. They have all circuits run through GFCI outlets on the pole. When we plug in and we are not running anything the GFCI trips on the pole. We talked to our storage facility manager and they had an electrician come out and he said the issue was our RV having an open ground. We have a Progressive Industries surge protector that was installed by the first owner. When we plug into the 30 amp plug at our house and in campgrounds there is no problem. Any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks in advance.
You do not tell us what Amperage you are plugged into at the storage facility.
GFI protection is very rare for 30 AMP circuits So, I'd assume you are reduced to a lower amperage circuit like 15 AMP or maybe a 25 AMP circuit.
And your Surge protector may be having a problem with it.
