GFCI Testing
The GFCI circuitry should be tested upon purchase of your RV and monthly thereafter.
The following procedure is used to test the GFCI receptacle and circuitry.
1. Connect a test light or appliance such as a hair dryer to the GFCI receptacle to verify the receptacle is energized.
2. Press the “test” button.
3. The “reset” button will pop out.
4. Power should be interrupted to other outlets protected by the GFCI.
5. Verify by plugging in a light at these outlets and pushing in the reset button to confirm power is restored.
If the “reset” button does not pop out after pressing the “test” button or the GFCI continues to trip, or if the power is not
interrupted to the test light or appliance, immediately turn off power at load center and have the electrical system
inspected by a qualified electrician.
