Re: Outlet/GFCI Issue
Just wanted to thank you all for the good advice and to let you know that I had the 5th wheel out two weeks ago for a week long get together with friends. I bought the correct feed through GFCI thanks to advice here. Upon arrival at the park, before hooking up the power. I unhooked the battery and installed the new GFCI. It was easy to follow the directions and it worked perfectly so my problem is solved. Thanks again.540Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outlet/GFCI Issue
Appreciate all the help. Since my RV is in storage without the ability to hook up to shore power, I will have to wait to replace the GFCI. I will double check the outlet inside the storage bay and the outside outlet (it has a cover). I guess I could also go get the percolator and bring it back to the house to check it out on a GFCI outlet here; however, I have also used the crockpot and rice cooker. The results were the same. Sometimes it continues working for many days in a row without a problem and then the next time I will try to use it, the GFCI has popped.374Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outlet/GFCI Issue
Don't think that percolator is at fault as it works elsewhere. There is an outlet in the bay below the bedroom but there is no water getting in there. And Texas has been in a drought most of the time as well. The GFCI doesn't show red when it trips although I know it used to but I don't ever remember is showing green. Is a GFCI any different for an RV than for a house or could I get one at Lowe's or Home Depot?376Views0likes0CommentsOutlet/GFCI Issue
I have a 2009 Jayco 5th wheel. I have a GFCI outlet in the bedroom which controls outlets on the passenger side of the 5th wheel (near bathroom sink and over the counter in the kitchen. The outlets over the counter test out fine with the 3 light plug-in testor. Sometimes I can use them for several days without a problem (usually for percolator) but then the GFCI will pop. Reset the GFCI and then use the testor again and they are fine. Noticed last time that GFCI no longer lights up. Microwave and fridge on same side but neither are affected so I assume not on GFCI. What might the fix be?4.2KViews0likes29Comments
