GFI questions
Hi all,
returned home after a 10 day adventure on the Oregon coast with mom (84) and my 9 yr old Grandson Ray and my little brother's 82FC 33. We had an interesting & expensive experience on our 2nd day out. I won't fill up space on this post as there is a lengthy post on WOO. Thanks to all folks who looked into a cure for our starting problem. Notably Bruce and George Witt, Randy D and many more came up with good ideas, starter or batteries ?? or both ?? anyway starts and runs fine as it always has. It was a challenge due to lack of reliable phone service, and no Cell or internet access. Question now: our experience when we finally reached a campsite where we could plug in and found the plug in had a GFI, and the minute I plugged in it tripped. Tried 2 different 30 amp plug-ins from the coach (batt & hot water), even physically turned everything off except the main in the breaker box. Frig off, lights off, popped the GFI every time, even tried running a cord to the next campers hookup. to no avail.. It did the same thing a few months back at my sister's shop. Again GFI's, pretty new construction and no matter which plug we used it would pop that GFI. Parked here at home plugged into a regular plug in has always worked fine. second question: I'm feared our frig won't work since our 5 day strand in an unlevel position. The frig was on (gas) and didn't even think about it not starting again when we were level. It worked for awhile (while we were stranded) then everything thawed and it hasn't work since elec or gas. Hope I didn't ruin it by not turning it off manually. didn't even think about it except after things melted, then remember reading something on a post once about it not working most times when not level. Just thought the gas went off or something. It also didn't seem to get cold from the genset running. drat! Now even plugged in here at home it's not working on electric either. So could there possibly be a reset button or fuse (wish I could be so lucky!?), or am I looking at a new frig?... thanks in advance, I really appreciate the generous help on these forums in figuring out our coach systems.
