Re: GFCI Keeps Tripping

Involves going into each outlet box to disconnect the outlets down the line. The most difficult problem is figuring where each outlet is in the chain. It's all tedious but necessary. You could have bad wire, bad outlet, bad connection or any one of a dozen other things. You just have to keep digging. These kinds of problems are usually expensive to have fixed by a paid tech due to the amount of time involved. Good luck. Since you've change the GFCI outlet itself it is likely a true ground fault and can be hazardous. Thanks for your comments. Did all that - all accept removing the micro to check its connection.455Views0likes0CommentsRe: GFCI Keeps Tripping
This is simply maddening. I tried everything. Replaced GFCI outlet. Checked every outlet (Seems to be 6 chained together in all). Checked fridge outlet. Nothing. I cant fathom what has changed in the 1 year that I have owned the camper. I can only assume it is behind the walls. I am no electrician. I have the GFCI outlet live now because i took out one of the white wires and that prevents it from tripping. But the other 5 outlets trip as soon as I plug something in. Maddening I tell ya!455Views0likes0CommentsRe: GFCI Keeps Tripping

If at a campground, I would check for a loose wire on the converter. Thanks. I will look at the converter. I added a little to my comments above.239Views0likes0CommentsGFCI Keeps Tripping
On our last trip, the GFCI outlet inthe bathroom tripped on our 2014 Keystone. After a rest all seemed well. Later in the day it tripped again. It has stayed tripped ever since. From what I can tell there are at least 5 outlets daisy chained on this one outlet, so none of them work. I have: Replaced the GFCI outlet with a new one. Still trips. Looked inside every outlet and insured no lose wires. Still trips. I should also add that I got the GFCI not to trip by removing all the outlets from the GFCI box, but once I put the second white wire back in it trips. What am I missing here?5.3KViews0likes24Comments
