    FIXED !! So the Atwood has it's electric element and 110V connections on the back in a junction box. Upon opening the box I was greeted with melted twist nuts and insulation. The hot wire nut had completely melted and the ground wire insulation was burned through (thank goodness for circuit...

    Electric water heater trips breaker even when switched off

    Re: Electric water heater trips breaker even when swithced off Thanks for the comments Bill, It'll be tomorrow before I get time to do the tests. However, what I see behind the water heater cover seems to be a little different from the troubleshooting guide and the manual that came with the...

    Electric water heater trips breaker even when switched off

    When we connect to shore power the circuit breaker for the 110V water heater trips immediately, even with the switch on the inside switch panel turned off.

    What kind do I need and other newbie questions

    We're about to chose a surge/ems for our rig. Maybe a silly question but can a portable 50A device be connected to a 30 or 15A pedistal (with apropriate adaptors obviously) and still function, or does it complain about a missing phase and then shutdown?
