Need some help. I have GFCI tripping. I washed the RV and lost power to the back half of the rig. I replaced it with a new one, still tripping. I have made no mods to the electric system, I also pulled off the exterior receptical thinking there may be moisture, did not see one. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a 2005 cf29rk.



thanks

If you did not have this problem before you washed the trailer, I would have to say an outlet or wiring got wet and is tripping the GFCI.



I would check to see what outlets are on the circuit that have no power. Next I would shut off the breaker and check all the outlets by taking them out from the wall one at a time to see if they are wet or have any moisture.

I had this problem with my camper 1 time earlier this summer after I washed it.I had never had it happen before but I had sprayed the vent cover of the refrigerator real good (dang flock of starlings dived bombed the side of my camper) and apparently got water into the camper through there. I actually had a small amount of water on the floor under the refer where it had come through. It kept tripping the GFCI. I went back out about 6 hours later and it was fine.

Thanks for all the help. It seems to have, as we used to say at the telephone company, "Came clear while testing". I beleive I too got some water in the refrig area.



Having fun in central Florida.
