Once that was done, there was no problems after. The other thing that caused a problem was the hair dryer. When the girls were getting ready in old camper, sometimes we had to turn the AC off for a few minutes. One of the reasons we moved up to a 50 amp camper.
    Unfortunately It does not get much better with a 50 amp trailer! I have a 50 amp Reflection, which should have plenty of amperage, but the way GD wires these things I have to juggle my power also! I only have two circuits for my outlets, so when it is cool we run an electric heater, start the coffee pot and when my wife starts to blow dry her hair we have to unplug something! One 15 amp circuit will not run two heating units for more than an couple of minutes before tripping! Ridiculous that GD does not put more than two circuits in a large 50 amp trailer! I have plenty of outlets, but they do you no good if you can't use them!!!!

    If you did, in fact. trip the inside breaker as well, it must be turned "OFF" to reset, then turned back to "ON". All lever-type circuit breakers work that way.

    Electrical amperage overloaded

Any ideas or am I missing something?? New to this trailer. Any help greatly appreciated if it is a simple task. Thanks, Rob
    We had similar issue not long ago. May I suggest you purchase a plug in voltage meter that will tell you when you are overtaxing the electrical system.
    Even if you reset the outside, if you're pulling more amperage than your unit is rated for, it will continue to trip.

    Do you have a washer and dryer circuit breaker for your trailer? With a little work and
    you can use these for dedicated circuits. Or remove the single breaker and put twin breakers in like GD for other circuits.
