Had to use my solar panels to keep the battery charged so the fridge could keep lighting to run on gas. 100 degrees it ran a lot. Also never turned on a single light to whole time so just the fridge was using the battery and the cord could power nothing.
There is more here than just a bad replacement cord that is likely too small. If you are tripping breaker every time is was also wired wrong. You need to rip out that yellow stuff and run a new 30A power cord all the way back to the junction box. Also you may want to do a full inspection of any other changes that may have been made. I would be very warry of any wiring the PO may have done since he obviously didn't have a clue.
