I have used three different lines from the coach. It still throws the switch. I'm convinced there's a short or some type of problem within the coach and not the lines.

Thanks for the suggestion but we have tried that. While the coach was parked and connected to park power water got into the adapter connection and melted it. I purchased a new adapter but from that point on it throws the breaker. That leads the electrician that it probably shorted something inside the coach.

E verything works with the generator but the electrical line keeps throwing the breaker at the house. He tried following the line into the coach but was unsuccessful. I'd like to find a knowledgeable BB guy in the Kennesaw, GA area or as far south as Atlanta. Thanks. Randy Akers

Everytime I try to plug it in to an outlet it throws a breaker at my house. The problem is not at my house. Also, I'd like to find someone that knows Bluebirds to do maintenance on mine. Thanks.
