Agree, it sounds like you are talking about the GFCI outlet and not the breaker in the converter.  Two different things.

I am not sure where that plug is, I have an outside plug in with grey cover on it on the outside of pod, but did not know there was one underneath. I have a 173 do you know where I tut located underneath? Near dorr, by stair sect. I am sorry this seems like a dumb question but I have never seen a plug underneath....

Sorry, no plug under the pod, I was referring to running a extension cord under the pod, into the dome, from the power pedestal. Most pedestals now days have a 50A, 30A and 15/20A plug. Using a extension cord to power whatever you have going on in the dome is a pretty standard thing to do..



When discussing power issues in/with the pod, there are breakers at the pedestal, breakers in the pod, fuses in the distribution panel, fuses on the converter, and then the GFCI outlet. Those are all places that can be a "supply issue". Some GFCI outlets are more sensitive then others.. and I suspect that to be your problem.

We stayed at the Suwanee River on my first maiden voyage, they did have a 30 amp but only one and I ran my pods shore power off of that.....it did not have all the other fancy stuff in you picture I guess I cant use the out side plug unless I stay somewhere where they have the extra amps.... :(
Thanks for your feedback, any additional will be apprecitate...love my group here..!

All of the outlets on your pod are powered up when you have the 30 amp plug plugged in, including the one on the outside.

Has anyone simply swapped out the AC for a quieter unit?  Does that help? Will anything quieter fit?

The ones I mentioned earlier in this thread should be quieter. While I didn't make the swap, Kickstart did (see page 6 of this thread). I don't think we got a final report on the noise level.

Somewhere in this forum I’ve read to turn the fan to auto for that  situation.

That is when using your furnace and don’t want a/c fan coming on.
