110V Bathroom GFI Outlet Powers too much

[Comptech]

So,
When we set up our 5er at the lake for the season I discovered that the outside 110 outlet was not working, also that the outdoor fridge, and outdoor kitchen 110 outlet. So after running down breakers etc... I discovered that the GFI in the bathroom had tripped. WOW, I thought that one 15 amp breaker powers a lot of stuff. We have two outdoor ceiling fans on our deck (off the outdoor 110V) the outdoor kitchen fridge, small microwave and whatever else might be happening in the bathroom.... Hair dryer etc... I have never had it trip before and the only reason I think it was tripped this time was because we just had the water heater replaced under warranty and the tech must have shut it off.

So my question to the group is:
1, Did anyone know how many 110 outlets some of these GFI breaker run on their camper(for me too many on this one circuit)
2, How hard would it be to run a whole new 110V outlet to one or more of these spots to help with the load?
Attached are pictures of our summer lake setup...

You can run all the circuits you want but are still limited by the 30amp(or 50amp) main in the trailer. That's a nice setup you have ... I would run another outlet to the deck from the 20amp on the pedestal and be separated from the trailer.

I agree with Hank. The issue you'll face by plugging into the circuit breaker panel in the RV is the limited 30 amps you can draw. By adding a separate line from the campground power pole to an outlet attached to one leg of the new deck, you can completely bypass the RV electrical system and keep the entire 30 amps for inside the RV.

It looks like what you've done is wire the fans/lights on the new deck to an extension cord type arrangement that you plug into the outside outlet on your RV. If so, just run that plug on an extension cord (of appropriate size) on over to the 20Amp plug on the campground pole and completely bypass the RV.

When we were seasonal, we hooked to 50A so we had both the 30 and 20 to run all the outside stuff on, good luck.

Comptech,
My 291 Springdale is the same. I ran a seperate line powered by the extra 20 Amp outlet provided on my power pole. I now can run second refridge and washer and dryer plus a couple of fans/lights as needed.
