I just found out last week, that All 120v in my Pod (including AirConditioner) goes thru GFCI outlet on the side of my bench seat.  All my 120v was dead, I checked circuit breakers, reset them .....  I just happened to look down to outlet where I normally see a little green light ... there was none.  I saw the GFCI, reset it and all was well.

In my 4 BR house in GA, all bathroom outlets (3 1/2 baths) go thru a single GFCI in 1/2 bath, so I guess it's normal.

Interesting! FR's motto: Let no two PODs be built the same? I just checked my 2013 172 by pushing the test button on the GFCI. The red button popped out, the green light went out, and the A/C, TV, Microwave, and fridge on AC all KEPT WORKING. Different year pods and this makes more sense to me. Yes, house bath outlets often are wired to a common GFCI. Saves money. But appliances and A/C are not hooked to the bath outlets.

I honestly didn't check the Microwave or fridge.  I'll do that this w/e when I pull the Pod out of storage for a local 3 day trip. After thinking about this, I'm hoping the GFCI gets it source thru a breaker / other than the main 30 amp.

Do you have an "appliances" breaker or more than one breaker for them?

I have never checked the appliance plugs but I know at least one plug in my 173 does not go through the cgfi.

On the 2013 RP172: Separate breakers for Main, A/C, microwave, water heater, fridge/power converter, GFCI. Six in all. The TV is tacked on somewhere.
