Had a great time at Virginia Beach. Saw lots of boats. Will post
pictures
of some when I get the chance.

Air conditioner kept popping the circuit breaker when the temp was
hovering
around 95 yesterday.

Anyone know anything about air conditioners?

John, I take it you're talking about your auto air conditioner?

What make and model?
No, Tim, it's one of these buggers: http://tinyurl.com/69jflb

The one on the trailer. Once the outside temp cooled down, in the
evening,
the AC ran fine. But during the hottest part of the day, the thing would
trip the circuit breaker no matter how we adjusted the settings. I found
a
web site, so I'll do a little research.

I think your warranty would be expected to cover that. I wouldn't start
monkeying with anything until that warranty period is up.


Let me see here. You're outside, inside a metal sardine can, in a trailer
park full of other metal sardine cans. You're all hooked up to the trailer
park's wiring, and you all have your air conditioning on. The voltage is
dropping.
Hmmm.


That's a possibility.
A good multimeter would be a handy test tool in that case.
Better tell John how to use one to test the voltage at an A/C outlet.


Even when there are no crowds, Campsite wiring, like marina wiring is
always a prime suspect for something such as this. ****forbra... I
mean, JohnH, might be at the far end of a very long circuit. When the
ice machine at the camp store has to work harder to keep the ice
frozen during the day...
