Re: Air conditioner problem

Yesterday we fired up the air conditioner on our new TT. The AC is a
Dometic, Brisk Air, 13,500 btu. The TT is plugged into a 20 amp
socket in the garage.

The AC ran fine for about 10 minutes and then tripped the circuit
breaker in the trailer. After a couple minutes I could reset the
circuit breaker, and then tried it again. It did the same thing. We
went through this cycle about four times.

And then, about the fifth time, the thing ran fine - for several hours
until turned off that evening.

Any ideas? I haven't had a chance to call the dealer yet, and the
service section isn't open on the weekends.

TIA!

20 amp service is not enough. You need 30 amp service.
