GFCI plugs keep tripping breaker in 5th wheel

[coulditbeanangel]

Thanks in advance for any information you may have on this topic. We recently purchased a 2006 Grand Surveyor and went on our first camping trip last week. Every time we used one our plugs in the kitchen, the breaker would trip. We would reset the breaker and no sooner than we would plug the coffee pot in, it would trip again. Any ideas what we should do? Should we replace the plugs or replace the breaker?

Try another appliance or a lamp and see what happens.

I believe we also had a fan plugged in that tripped it also.

OK, just double check, the GFI may need to be replaced. Another member on the Forum said that the ones that are in the campers are not the best but do think they have to meet UL specs.

Just to be clear, the breaker is tripping and not the GFCI?

And it tripped with just a fan plugged into it?

It's sounding like the breaker is bad or too low amperage.

What's the amperage rating stamped on the handle of the breaker?

We have a GS272 and we found that the outside plug was on the same breaker as the electric for the water heater. Just wondering if they may have wired the water heater to the kitchen breaker. I found that if I turned of the water heater, I no longer blew the breaker when using the outside plug. Everything is in that area. Just a thought.
