New Guy Here

First trip with our brand new Micro Lite 25BHS, after i hooked up the brake wires everything was going great, until we got to our first overnight, plugged into shore power, using a seirge protrctor, all lights said it was good power, GFCI instantly popped, as well as the circut marked fridge, double checked everything, tried again, popped it again, unplugged fridge, didnt help. So the only things working are AC and Microwave. All strips are dead, havent tried hot water heater, left it on gas. Also noticed 12 voltcharging station next to sofa is dead, that seemed odd, all other 12 volt seems fine. : /
Any ideas, just sitting in the desert with screw driver in hand

I know this is a week old, but in the off chance you haven't done anything yet. You either have a bad piece of equipment, or a bad short.

Since it's brand new, call your dealer and explain the situation. They may be able to walk you through troubleshooting that specific problem. The hard part is there are no schematics for these things. Our bathroom GFCI trips our AC and our bedroom outlets (other end of the camper), the kitchen GFCI trips the hot water heater and outside outlet.

Troubleshooting this is just like troubleshooting anything else... process of elimination... with the added bonus of muttering "Why would anyone do it like that?" and "What the heck were they thinking?" dozens of times.

Thank you for your reply, im sure i said those exact words a few times, i gave up shortly after, ran to walmart , bought a few extension cords and finished the trip that way, i am on vacation after all, i drop the trailer at the dealer next week, let them sort it out, ill post what they discover all in all it was a great trip, 2500 mountain miles, and that was the only issue, very happy with the new mini home
