2022 R POD 202 electrical problem

We went on our 1st trip in our new 2022 R POD 202 May, 31-June 2.  Just a quick one to break it in.  Got set up and of course had air conditioner on since it was hot.  We have 30 amp unit and plugged into 30 amp plug.  This isn't our 1st RV.  We've owned towable and motorized, big and small for years.  Everything going well til I decided to heat up lasagna in microwave for dinner.  The air conditioner shut off and the refridg. switched from elec. to propane.  Like to never found breaker box but finally did and got reset.  Decided not to push my luck so didn't try microwave again right away.  I plugged my cell in to charge and noticed plug not working. I assume these all went out when the other things did. As a matter of fact none of them worked.  Finally realized that the GFI in the bathroom controlled all the plugs.  Needless to say, we were really frustrated.  Oh by the way, we were camped in area with very little cell coverage so couldn't look things up to get answers.  We had nothing else going at the time everything went out except air cond. and microwave.  Why would the air, refrig., and all plugs go off at the same time?  I should be able to use air and microwave together in a new unit.  We've never had that trouble before in any of our other units that were 30 amp.  Tried it again the next day and the same thing happened.  

We are scheduled to take in on Monday to dealer.  Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem.  You're right, it's brand new.

You cannot assume that you SHOULD be able to run the a/c and microwave at the same time. It's all about amps, how many are you pulling, and when. An a/c unit can sometimes pull more than 20 amps at start up. You will always be drawing power elsewhere, fridge, converter, lights, then you kick on the micro, not that unbelievable. Not sure if you have an EMS, but if you do, you can watch the power pendant and see how much amperage your actual units pull when they turn on. 

From your explanation of what happened, you were drawing too much amperage with both ac and microwave on at the same time. I noticed via my EMS (as offgrid suggested above, an ems that protects you from high and low power situations is a always a good idea). I was watching my power draw through my Hughes Power Watchdog on my phone (Bluetooth) and it does indeed draw more than 30 amps with both high draw items on at full power.

I imagine we have a similar sized fridge and AC, as we have a 192 so it is comparing apples to apples.

I will be interested in what your dealer says and if there is a problem or do we just continue to watch what we have turned on. So, please let us know what you find out as it would be much appreciated!

A 1200 watt hair dryer with consume about 10A. The A/C will take about 15-18 (running, more during startup). The micro is about 10-12A. That adds up to around 40A. A 30A breaker should trip at that current you want it to or you will overhead your wiring.

I'm not sure why your previous RVs breaker still held under that condition assuming all the loads were the same, but I'd suggest that your current breaker is working properly and something wasn't right with your old one. Just run one appliance at a time plus the A/C and you should be fine.
