GFI

[Dennis Crawford]

Of course all of my outside and bathroom receptacles are labeled as GFI as they should be.  However, is there a master GFI receptacle where I can test or reset this circuit or is it handled by a special circuit breaker.

2005 Monterey.

I do not know of any unit with a master GFI. Usually there is one GFI outlet in the bay that feeds the upstairs GFI outlets. In my case the GFIs have other GFIs on the same circuit. Just the way Beaver did it. The circuit breaker for these GFIs may be after the inverter in a small breaker box on the bay ceiling. This wiring layout is for a 2002 Marquis so there may be some variation.

I don't think household GFIs were made for switching between shore power, inverter power and genset power.  My bay GFI would usually trip at night in the rain.  Replacing it with a standard outlet fixed it permanently.

All of my GFI's have the breaker button on the outlets themselves.  Just push the  button to test and push again to reset.

On mine, the GFI outlet in the storage area controls the AC on the passenger side of the coach that feeds other GFI outlets.

Bill,

There are some exterior GFIs now that do not trip as easily as the standard ones in our bay would during episodes of high humidity. If you do a search on GFI and my name it will have a listing for a Lutron model. Either Lowes or Home Depot should have one if you get interested. Mine has not tripped since I went with this type made for moist environment. My guess is that it has better contacts and a sealed circuit board.

All of my GFCI sensors are built into the individual breakers in the 30 amp box in the bathroom electric cabinet.  Yellow test buttons are on the breaker faces, but the circuits must have power supplied to the box or a test won't trip the breaker.   Your '05 may be the same, Dennis.
