GFCI Circuit Breakers
Ground fault current interrupter breakers are engineered into
the electrical system. They are designed to reduce the possible
injury caused by electric shock. The breakers will not protect
against short circuits or circuit overloads.
Typically there is a GFCI circuit breaker panel (known as a
G6A or G12A panel) located in a bathroom cabinet or in a
basement compartment. The panel offers benefits and con -
venience of breaker-style manual and auto-reset circuit pro-
tection that replaces blade type fuses. In addition to circuit
protection, the panel supports control of different systems in -
cluding lighting, pumps and motors, leveling jacks, slideouts,
awnings, generators and more.
Testing The Campsite Power Connection
The campsite 120-volt power receptacle(s) should always be tested for proper function-
ality prior to plugging the recreation vehicle shore power cord into it.
Campsite 120-volt power receptacles can be tested using a digital multimeter or a dedicated
circuit analyzer. Dedicated circuit analyzers plug directly into the campsite power recep-
tacle and minimally test for open neutral, open ground, and correct polarity.
