13 outlets on 1 15 amp circuit

[SamnSam]

Can someone tell me why grand design would have 13 outlets on a 15 amp breaker feeding it. every time it rains the ground Falt trips and won't reset for about 4 days.

Wow, almost double. Standard should be 1 outlet per 1.5 amps up to 80% capacity of the total, so 8 outlets would max out a 15 amp circuit.

check your outside recept. See if it is getting wet or retaining moisture. It does not take much. The number of outlets does not have anything to do with it unless you are using too many at the same time.

You have a water leak that is causing current leakage. Has nothing to do with the outlet count as mentioned above. Seems you have a box filling up with water and it takes 4 days for it to seep out or evaporate.

I would think it would be more important to figure out why it's blowing vs how many are on the circuit. Although, it may be foolish to have that many on the run, how often does someone have 13 items plugged in and running at the same time?
