    Not being able to see the ends of the hoses. Seems there is an end cap missing from the hose that's poring out water when pump is running. It's the low point drain. The other hose is the overflow for fresh water. The GD website shows only 1 AC and 30 amp service. Not showing option for 2nd AC. There's no way, without installing Soft Starts in each AC, to run both. Add in the the water heater and refrigerator and a Coffee Pot your at the limit or over 30 amp service.

    What a difference a circuit breaker made.

    My dealership reasoned that the circuit breaker may be bad, so they ordered and installed a different one. I presently have both a/cs running, and both the fridge & water heater on electric on my 30 amp circuit.

    You can not SAFELY run all of that on a 30amp circuit! Even if the breaker holds you are running way too much current through the cord, plugs, and receptacle (home or campground... soon you will have a meltdown and hopefully it won't be at the receptacle on your rig and start a fire. Seen it happen just a few years ago, saw an RV across from our loop with a small "orange glow" on the side of the RV and I just thought it was a lighted power cord. Later that evening it burst into flames while the owners were sitting around their campfire completely oblivious to what was going on on the backside of their rig. Lucky for them a neighboring couple were close by to alert them or their RV would surely have been totalled!

    You would think he’d have a meltdown within 20 minutes with all that running.
