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 ------------- Gary and Maureen Lisle |

Check the voltage before you plug in again. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

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. ------------- Bob 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 2018 178 R-pod Hood River Edition |

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 ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |
