Good evening all. Camping at Niagara Falls and can't get any power. Every time I plug the power cord into the outlet box it trips the switch immediately. Tried different outlets but always the same result. Tried flipping one breaker at a time but still the same. Any thoughts. Gary

Check the voltage before you plug in again. |

Where is the switch tripping? On the Rpod? --> don't know. On the source power? If yes, check the grounding of the source. It could be that it is set up for a Marine, rather than a shorepower grounding scheme. In that case, the Neg and ground in the Rpod is causing a short to the source box.

I've been told they turn the falls off at night? Maybe that' the problem?
 Hope you get it figured out, but I would be very careful without a ground fault detector or proper volt meter. fred
