No it means there is current there (breaker on)

But that current isn't getting to the outlets, so doesn't that indicate a short somewhere?

More likely an open, not a short. A short would no allow breaker reset!

As an aside someplace in that rig you should have two master GFICs many outlets can be daisy chained per GFIC, but you should find two masters. (resetable/testable)

Well so far I ly found one resettable and it won't reset, could have been replaced and the load and line were mixed up?

Look for an appliance that may be causing the problem.

Then and only then replace the gfci.

I don't understand all the appliances are plug in.

Make sure they are all unplugged.

 

[TXfreeze]

Oh, I see what you mean, make sure there are no appliances plugged in to the circuit while testing, well that makes sense.

So if I do need to replace the GFI outlet what amps does it need to be, right now have a replacement that is 15 amps how do you figure out what amps that needs to be based on the current shore power of 50 amps?

 

[Kevin D Pem]

The GFIC rating is based on the amperage it will handle safely. If your breakers are 20 amp the devices/receptacles should be able to handle 20 amps. If the breaker is 15 amps then a 15 amp GFIC will be just fine, however a 20 amp will not hurt anything.

This will be true in anything on the down hill side of any breaker. The breaker protects wires and devices. To small wires or devices can cause a melt down. Small is determined by the breaker/fuse!

Do you get what I'm saying? If not I will try again!

I get it, as an example, the refrigerator breaker is 20 amps so in this case the 15 amp GFI outlet would not be enough to protect iit would need to be 20 amp or higher.
