1971 Tramper Camper (canned ham)
If I run a regular outdoor heavy duty extension cord from the GFCI-guarded garage to my camper, the GFCI instantly trips.
If I use the cord that came with the camper (has the ground pin removed), it doesn't trip.
A local electrical expert says campers aren't grounded, so I can never plug it into a GFCI circuit.
I'm not comfortable using a cord with no ground pin, and I want to be able to plug in at campgrounds (just bought the camper and have yet to take it out).
So glad I found this forum.
