What does the Bedroom Breaker Control

We have a short in our 3791RD 2019 and need help tracking it down. The first AC breaker that says bedroom keeps tripping the surge protector. Does anyone know what that controls or how to trace it?

Thanks
Larry

We need clarification. Are the bedroom outlets dead? When you say "trips the surge protector" Do you have a built in SP? Is the breaker a GFI breaker? How good are you with AC voltage?

A fault inside the rig will not 'trip' a surge protector. Is this surge device an actual protector or is it maybe an EMS? It sounds like you have a fault in the line coming into the trailer, not inside, and when you add load, it causes the faulted location to heat up and short to an adjacent wire which could cause the protection device to open up.

To help understand we have a Hughes 50 in-line surge protector and no electricity in the bedroom outlets. The bedroom breaker is tripped but when we turn it on the surge protector trips and gives a E2 which is high voltage on line 2

Angry HELP with Troubleshooting Ideas on Breaker Switch

We have a 2019 3791Rd and recently had a electricity surge that fried most of our DC items. Because of the we are operations the rig on a generator. During the trouble shooting process we kept having the bedroom breaker trip and got a error of E7 Missing Ground on our Hughes surge inline protector. So on a hunch we bypassed the AC input Utility connector going into the transfer switch and the breaker and error still occurred. Then we disconnects the Load out put connector and the short went away.

Now I don't know what caused the electric surge but I do know the inverter and maybe the transfer switch are fried. Is there anything else I should look for in the trouble shooting process besides the connectors under the bed. Also do you thing the inverter and transfer switch could have caused a large enough surge to fry most of our DC items? All the AC items work as far as we can tell.

Thanks Again
Larry
