What is the breaker "Bedrm GP-3" for"

[Kahoona]

I have a breaker labeled Bedrm GP-3. Don't know what it does. I am trying to understand my 120 wiring because I am sorting out another problem. Thanks


PS I just noticed that there is also a Refer/GLY GP1 GLY?

50 year electrician and I don't have a clue.

Bedroom general purpose circuit 3 ? Check the receptacles as you operate the breaker.

I agree with Jim18655. GP meaning General Purpose.

Refer/GLY maybe for the refrigerator?

I'm curious what problem you are sorting out.

GP = General Purpose
GLY = Galley

When I owned a 2004 National RV Sea Breeze, the "GP" meant "Group" that's all.

For example, on my 2004 these were the groups:

• Group 1 - Fridge, Bedroom outlets, TV/Entertainment
• Group 2 - Basement, Dinette, Hallway, Outlet behind recliner
• Group 3 - GFI outlet
• MICRO GFI Group - Microwave, GFI outlets in kitchen & bathroom

To figure what your breakers stand for, turn off breakers one at a time and see what goes off.

What doesn't work when you switch it off?

Ahhh... The quandary. I am trying to figure out why half of the outlets and the fridge and the bathroom and other things as yet undiscovered don't work. I will take your advice and see which breakers shut off the remaining things, then whatever is left must be on the dead ones.
Refer is in the slide and the control panel works but it does not get cold. It is powered by 2 outlets behind it so perhaps one is out.

Problem is that 6 outlets are dead, bedroom and front. National grouped them like that. Also fridge does not get cold. Microwave does not work on inverter. Kitchen does work as well as bath. All 12v works except fridge.

We bought it 2 weeks ago.when we got it home I turned on the inverter and the GFI in the dash burst into flames. There are some irregularities in the electrical system. I am working on sorting things out before trying to fix things.

Hadn't thought of GLY being galley. That works.

An easy way to find out exactly what is connected to each breaker is to stop by your local Harbor Freight store and buy one of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/cable-tracker-94181.html


Then, with your shore power UNPLUGGED connect the transmitter to a breaker and then use the receiver to find out what is connected to that breaker. Make a note, or a diagram, or however you want to document it, then go to the next breaker and repeat...
