Hi all,

We have a 2008 Monaco Knight. We are connected to 50 amp service. After several hours of the airconditioner running the circuit breaker will trip. Any help will be appreciated. If additional information is needed, let me know. Thanks so much!

That rules out the AC units. I would shut down the power at power post and open up the AC power panel and check to see if you have any loose wire coming in from 50 amp service, check all the joints. Also look at the 50 amp power cable head to see if you see burn places or pins that are not clean. If you do have joints that are not clean the amps will go up and that will pop the circuit breaker.
