[VAL] Re: VAL Digest V1 #134 - Where all those little electrons go, GFIs



AC doesn't go to the trailer or vehicle battery. If it did (accidentally)
the battery would boil, foam and maybe explode.
Unless all you have is a popup that has a regular 15 amp plug that is
plugged into the 15/20 amp outlet in the pedestal, and that outlet is a

GFI is used only to protect individual circuits (we're not dealing with
industrial GFIs).
