[VAL] perplexing electrics

["Chris Koehn" <timberguides@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question for someone with more electrical savvy than I. I 
replaced the Univolt in our 1979 31' Int'l Sov. with a Intelli-Charger 
with charge wizard last month. It's a DP9160A, 60 amp (size recommended 
by the folks in Jackson Center). Since I installed it I'm having some 
peculiarities happening.
Without apparent rhyme or reason the 15 amp GFI breaker in the 120V 
panel trips. It seems to be behaving as though the circuit is 
overloaded. The charge wizard acts strangely as well. After I reset the 
GFI, it seems to go to "boost" mode, cycling on and off every 30 
seconds or so. The lights grow brighter and dimmer with the cycle of 
the charger. when I get the wizard to go to "normal" mode, this 
behavior goes away. Also, the "AC POWER" light on the control panel 
does not illuminate. I'm not sure these issues are related.
I've tested the battery- it's fine. I'd replace the GFI breaker but it 
costs $100, so I don't want to if I don't have to. I could put in a 
non-GFI protected breaker, but that doesn't seem wise. Although it does 
seem odd that the charger would be on the same circuit as the bath and 
kitchen (which I would think would be the locations on a GFI circuit..)

I'm stumped! No trouble before I replaced the Univolt. Any ideas?
As usual- thanks in advance for the advice,

Chris K.
