This is what I am referring to, but haven't looked into the details too much.
I tried another GFCI on the pedestal with same results. Sometimes charges for and hour, of sometimes trips in a couple minutes.
Currently out at a frozen lake about 2 hours from home. Absolutely gorgeous and having a wonderful time with the family.
Tried using shore power but their GFCI keeps tripping, I think it's because of the various inductive loads from the autotransformer and inverter. There are different GFCI trip...
