electrical issue...maybe

[Gdlow]

For quite sometime, I have been able to plug my MH into a 15 amp plug-in at home...Recently, it has started tripping the breaker in the garage. Nothing else is plugged into the circuit vs at any other (ie water timer system)time. Also the things on in the MH are the typical...the detector for gas...the walkie talkies and the DVR...these total about 5 amps...
Any way to check what is causing the trip...the circuit doesn't trip unless the MH is plugged into it...

By code, most garage outlets are GFCI protected. A lot of problems arise when you plug an RV into a GFCI protected outlet. It is caused by how the RV's wiring often ties the ground and neutral together. Your best solution will be to install a dedicated outlet with proper wiring from your breaker box to an RV outdoor box. You can then have full 30/50A service and safety.
Good luck,
Jerry

I had the same problem. My GIF outlet and extension cord were out in the weather. Each time I would plug in the motorhome the GFI would trip. After cleaning the male and female plug terminals of the extension cord was I able not to trip the GFI. Best of luck!

It "appears" as if I had a shorted sprinkler valve wire...disconnected it and it "seems" to be holding...going to checkout however, the cost to put a separate plug in as suggested.
