I'll check them out

Since the original GFCI only tripped occasionally when I switched on the inverter I have decided it is a back burner item. So I have reinstalled the original GFCI and returned the Leviton GFCI, I think it's just too sensitive for my old system. I will probably order a Hubbell for the next try, but it is really hard to troubleshoot something when it is working 99.9% of the time. The good news is I was able to install a new Old Work Shallow Work Box, as the old one was crumbling. Note: The Magnum manual for the MSH3012RV recommends the following GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interruption) Outlets: Cooper VGF15W Hubbel GF520EMBKA, GFRST15xx and GFRST20xx Series Leviton 8899-A, N7899, GFNT1 and GFNT2 Series

Yep, that's there, the old one has the line on the bottom and the new one has the line on the top. Two circuits connect to line and one to the load, so only one circuit is protected.

I wish it was that simple, then it would be an easy fix. But never say never, I'll review the videos and see what that shows.

I haven't seen any in their documentation. The recommendation for the Leviton, along with a few others was found searching "GFCI" on this site.

Occasionally my bathroom GFCI trips, usually when I switch on the inverter. Not a big pain but easy to replace right, well not so much. I read the post on here about replacing a GFCI and purchased a 20amp "Leviton GFNT2-T Self-Test SmartlockPro Slim GFCI Non-Tamper-Resistant Receptacle" since it was the only one they had that was on the "approved" list. The replacement went fairly simple even though everything on the new GFCI was backwards from the original. When I turned the circuit breaker back on the status light was green on the new GFCI, but there was no power. The directions say the GFCI is shipped tripped and to insure it is tripped, but it doesn't move, the reset button moves but the GFCI doesn't reset. The status light stays green the whole time. Thinking GFCI was bad I replaced it with a new one, but it didn't work either, so I assume I'm overlooking something and put the old one back in and it's working fine. Any guesses as to what I'm doing wrong? Since this GFCI connects to the Inverter I should probably note that I have upgraded to a Magnum MSH3012RV Pure Hybrid Inverter Charger.

The deed is done. the two A/C were swapped for $360. The results are amazing, the front A/C that that was running weak and icing up works great in the bedroom and no more icing up. The rear A/C has no problem heating or cooling the living room and it is a little bit quieter. The techs that did the swap left the control units in place ind just moved the A/C itself., so no worry about dip switches.

We Have a YouTube Channel called The EdelKampers. We are full-time RVers and travel and live in a 2008 Monaco Diplomat 36PDQ, we call "Bullwinkle". We tow a small truck camper we call "Rocky". Mostly we do reviews on the campgrounds and attractions where we are at, but sometimes things break and we show what we did to fix it.

Thanks Tom, both ACs are 15 KW with heat pumps. I only have one thermostat, originally it was the five button unit that also controls the furnace. The old five button thermostat is safely stored away in the box that contained the Micro-Air I replaced it with. Will the Micro-Air need to be reset? Is there a manual/drawing showing the dip switches settings and location? I'm having a mobile tech do the work. All I know is the rear AC will freeze you out of the bed room, not so much with the front one and it likes to ice up. I assume the front one was used a lot more than the rear one and as so could use a freon recharge.

Are there any problems with swapping the front and rear original Penguin ac's in my 2008 Diplomat? The rear ac is much stronger then the front one.

We made a video on this a while back on our solution. I don't think YouTube links are allowed so just search for "No Fuss Flush Not Working. Easy Black Tank Repair"

I did the "reset" this morning. Shut off all AC and DC power and waited 15 minutes, restored the DC and AC power, which was acting funny, AC wouldn't stay on an washer/dryer wouldn't run. All fixed now, just need to find me a display with all the things it's controlling listed.

Thanks, I talked to Jim and he said I don't have ping tanks and they put the Automann 8897 on the rear and they have with the 1/4" NPT air inlet, he didn't know what went on the front. I think I'll just wait till I get back to Eugene OR, I'll just have them put on their Ride Enhancement Kit.
