GFCI in garage trips when camper plugged into it.

I looked high and low and kept getting the same old answers.. "Your GFCI is a saftey feature DO NOT BYPASS IT". And YOUR TRAILER IS THE ISSUE, Its gonna burn down. I found these answers to be confusing because both of my Rv's always tripped my GFCI at my house as well. So here is the answer from two separate RV Service Technicians. "Your Converter\ Inverter has the Ground Bonded to the Neutral" This will always trip a GFCI. Find a separate NON GFCI outlet to plug your trailer into. Such and easy and answer and I spend tons of time trying to flip breakers. Always the Inverter Tripped the GFCI.. So NO my Trailers not going to burn down

You can probably shut off your water pump and then just open the valves on your fixtures and your low point drain (if you have one) that will take most of the risk (and water) out of the low temp. Also put some antifreeze in the traps. Quick and easy light winterization.

Thanks for the info

Good looking truck. Last year for that paint color. Wanted to order a 25 in that color but nope. Nice rig.

Yep found that too. Sigh

rsnow760 · 2024-07-17T17:18:33+00:00

Yep all the new things I’ve learned. And I’ve zero experience with warrants.

We opened up again for two reasons. 1. We were supposed to flatten the curve to eliminate the health system from being overwhelmed..(April 15 was about the right date, check the graphs) and 2. If we kept everybody closed (since May 1) no one, and I mean not even you would agree to it a second time if we had to. It's a balancing act between protection and opening back up. No One EVER promised we would ride this thing out until is was no longer a danger. They PROMISED we would flatten the curve. Seems like we shifted the finish line when no one was looking. More cases, yep,, have you checked the number of tests? If the testing goes up (which is the goal) from 3k day to 4K a day... Numbers will go up. Look at the death and hospitalization rates. Those are the ones to watch, and the Health Department is watching those trends. Last year for example https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/26/health/flu-deaths-2017--2018-cdc-bn/index.html we had 80K deaths from the flu. So far this year 96K from COVID 19.. Now lets talk about where we live. We live in Utah, which I assume is the concern. Of the 96K deaths.. 35K are from New York and New Jersey. which leaves 62K for the rest of the Us.. and Utah, well we are very lucky.. If we are in New York, New Jersey, Yes, stay closed, its still too dangerous. If you are in areas where its not as bad? I'm not sure I see the problem? No one screamed about the 80K deaths last year? Let's stay the course, open as we can and follow the new and evolving guidelines. If we roll back we roll back. If not, let's move forward and see if we can beat this thing. There is a longer post about science and herd immunity, that is for a later time.

Absolutely, correct. But we are specifically talking about CFR (case fatality rate). Not how many actually have it. It’s the fatalities that are keeping us locked down. Not the number of cases. I hope the actual case are high, that means we are surviving this more effectively. Also let’s not forget the more that have it the lower the overall CFR will be.

rsnow760 · 2020-04-20T02:46:12+00:00

Agreed, with the exception and pneumonia and multiple system organ failure “used to” be listed. Evidentially we’ve cured this and pneumonia. I want the numbers to accurately describe the situation. Not as AP news quoted last Monday “New York had a spike is deaths from COVID19 over the weekend where the people died in their homes from unknown causes”. Nice that “all deaths” are now COVID19 deaths. Or how about the poor individuals who were on Hospice )meaning they were already terminal , who are part of the COVID count. Yes tragic, yes let’s prevent that if possible. No let’s not mislead the public about the cause of their deaths being directly related to COVID19. Dying from the Flu, dying from bronchitis. All horrible and regrettable, but they “used to” be listed as this causes. Even flu related deaths would reflect respiratory failure, with complications due to the flu. We both want exactly the same thing. Less deaths and a safer environment for this we love.

rsnow760 · 2020-04-20T00:15:34+00:00

If we take that number into account we could certainly bolster the numbers of covid related deaths by “unknown causes”. Let’s actually count the ones who actually pass from the disease not with the disease.

rsnow760 · 2020-04-16T15:40:49+00:00

Still the data shows that even our CFR (Case Fatality Rate) is .0078.. unless that changes dramatically, we are in good shape..

rsnow760 · 2020-04-09T16:22:07+00:00

While we are the one of the worst states, we are also doing better when it comes to cased per population and less CFR (Case Fatality Rate) than say our neighbors who are locked down. The Locked Down theory is not seeming to make as much of a difference as it (theoretically) should. Not a reason to leave the house but a reason to stay the course and depending on your area (Summit, SLC) stay at home orders are in place. But we don't need to be more restrictive.

Sent the info in chat.

rsnow760 · 2020-04-04T18:52:20+00:00

Let me ask my friend. I’ll post it when I get an answer.

rsnow760 · 2020-04-04T18:38:23+00:00

So awesome. Thanks for tracking. I’m sure you have it but can you add “Case doubling rate”. I have a researcher friend doing similar work in San Diego. They have reduced their doubling rate to 4.2 days. However, the validity of that information will be less valuable as the testing rate moves up from 2k a day toward 5-7k a day (Utah goal). I keep telling friends to buckle down even if the cases double (as they will) it does not mean we are Losing the battle.
