2014 Bounder Elecyrical issues

Help!! We r having electrical issues w outlets on passenger side of coach, if microwave, or wtr htr or fireplc is on and we plug a coffee pot, etc into an outlet..any outlet... it kicks system off. The coach has a surge protector, and we use an external surge protector too when hooked up to a pole. And it happens to any pole we hook up to. Have checked the fuses and breakers over the microwave, none blown or kicked off. Have not used AC, so not that. Almost like we can only get 30 amp. Suggestions..??

Its been awhile but our 14 Bounder had an energy management system that prevents trying to use more power than is available from your source. If your plugged into an external 30 amp connection the coach is smart enough to know it's not a 50 amp connection. By default the 30 amp energy management system will think it's only got 20 amps available. Somewhere there is an energy management panel that will allow you to tell the system how many amps are actually available. The easiest way to see if this is the issue is start the generator and see if the issue persists. The gen will activate the 50 amp side of the energy management system and hopefully not limit the available power to the outlets.
I'm working on memory here not 100% sure I'm on the right track good luck with your troubleshooting.

Are you popping a breaker on a 15A line inside the RV, or are you popping a breaker on the outside pedestal? The microwave, water heater, and fireplace are all high current devices - and should not all be on the same inside breaker. The microwave should be on its own breaker, probably a 15A breaker, but if it shares a breaker with other outlets then it will likely pop a 15A breaker if another high current load (coffee pot, toaster, etc) is added.
