cord. If the shore breaker trips, you have a wiring problem in the 30
- 15 amp adaptor, the dock outlet (unlikely) or on the boat (also
unlikely, if things worked when plugged into a 30 amp outlet.)


WE DID TURN EVERYTHING OFF AND PLUGGED IN AND TRIPPED THE BREAKER ON
THE DOCK.

Here's a lifeline: if you blow a shore supply breaker when your stuff
is all OFF, you have the famous "American Neutral to Ground"
connection.

That's the way American consumers are wired, after all!
Get an electrician to fix it up for preference
