System Overload

Along with the appliances that came with the RV (fridge, freezer, gas stove, micro / convection oven, we also brought our other kitchen appliances that we couldn't do without (rice maker, convection / toaster oven). We debated on selling the convection oven, but are currently using it for toasting as well as a convection oven for dinners. We bring it outside so it won't create extra heat inside the RV. We have rice on an almost daily basis, so it goes outside as well. It wasn't long before it tripped a breaker. Finding the fuse box was quite a challenge The directions from the manual are vague at best as to where to find the fuse boxes.

Ok - so we can't plug 2 kitchen appliances outside, so one goes out and one stays in. That works for a short while until it trips another circuit breaker. This time it was the power bar that we used outside.

Just when you think you've got it all figured out, it happens again. There are 2 outlets outside the RV in one of the storage areas; one is attached to the Xantrax power supply, and the other is on its own. The power bar had been plugged into the power supply outlet and it had tripped. So now the power bar is plugged into the other outlet. No more circuit breaker trip outs.

This is one of those things that they don't teach you - you learn as you go.
