Have the same problem hooked up to 20amp at my house as well as at the storage facility. Changed the GFI at the house to no avail.

Tracked the problem down to the ice maker. Unplugged the ice maker (which on my unit runs thru the bathroom GFI) and the problem went away.

Good Luck

Thanks everyone! I'm planning to do some more investigation regarding this tomorrow since the rain is supposed to let up. You all have given me several things to try. Brian

Possible problem is that you cannot have two GFCI's in the same circuit. they will not function correctly . you have GFCI protection in the house circuit connected to GFCI outlets in the coach. try connecting to a house circuit with out GFCI protection

Hi all,
I found the issue (thank goodness!) it was a bad power strip surge protector that the television, DVD player and sound bar were plugged into. I had to take the fireplace out to get to it. I confirmed that it is what has been tripping the gfci outlets in the coach and on the house.
I left everything unplugged for now and I have a small industrial grade surge protector power strip coming from Amazon. The old power strip was a cheap plastic one that was several years old. The new one is small but very heavy duty and made out of aluminum and is rated for industrial computer use. (My wife works for Best Buy and she says they use the surge/power strips to power all of their display televisions etc...
Thank you all for your suggestions and help... I love IRV2!
