Hey All! Feel kind of bad I didn't reply to all your great suggestions! Just wanted to let you know how it went for anyone needing to do the same kind of work! I hate it when a thread starts with a problem I also have, and then the OP never comes back to say how it went/how they solved it! So...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! @Heli_av8tor BWAHAHAHAH! Yeah, I guess someone could think otherwise. Thank you everyone for winnowing this down and teaching me. I think I got a handle on it - maybe. @Lynx0849 The power strip is brand new and NOW only has the timer plugged into it with the grow...

Hmmm now that's an interesting twist. I AM growing orchids and other tropicals in there and do run a humidifier but it's on the other side of the wall where the gfci outlet is at, using an outlet downstream. I just put the hygrometer right next to the gfci and get a read of 44% - too low for...

Thanks for explaining that to me. Hunh...well it's only 100 watt, that shouldn't cause a problem. I just had it trip again after zero problems running the grow light all day yesterday and switching off via timer in the evening. Then timer and light switching on fine this morning running for 4...

Ahhhh ok. So that changes things as the gfci is in the 5th wheel bathroom, meaning it would have to be either a water leak onto old exposed wiring on that downstream or that my grow light pulls too much (which I doubt). House panel breaker never tripped, no gfci on exterior plugin unit. Just odd...

Wow, that was fast lol! But does it make sense that "the circuit" would be from the house box to the 5th, or is "the circuit" supposed to be contained within the 5th - i.e., can I trust that the exterior 30 amp hot box taking rain is the most likely culprit? It has a metal box and lid but due to...

Good Morning to All and Merry Christmas!  :) Lots of rain coming down here and I have a wee doubt about a gfci issue. Dedicated 30 amp house breaker in house panel for a fifth wheel. Properly wired 30 amp cord running to 5th from house outlet. I installed a grow light (small 2 bulb modern T5)...

As others have said, there are ample how-to videos and blog posts on how to start remodeling from start to finish. I had no idea remodeling an RV could be so easy when I got the 'tiny home' bug in 2018. Since then I have completely remodeled a 34' 5th wheel from front to back. I started by...

Thank you Jackie! I have a friend living in Scotland. It's a very very lovely place, amazing!

Hehe, yeah magic would be good. There are two bolts on the outermost side framing where I need to pull wood out/replace - one on each side. They are definitely part of the load bearing structure but it is empty bays directly up top that are framed out underneath my living area. The company that...

Not sure if you found your table answer yet but Ikea has a much cheaper version that folds down, about 20" wide, though is a bit shorter than yours at 35". https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80217524/ I'd take a chance on tapping away to find studs to screw into AND glue the heck out of...

I put this topic originally in the wrong section, sorry to the mods, wasn't sure about a double post. Hello y'all! I'm facing a Summer project after a gray water leak into my underbelly went undetected for some time. This 5th wheel is laid out so the interior floor is the roof of bays which run...
