Thanks for the input. I have been reading about the EMS system and am leaning more in that direction.

I had a voltage spike while I was parked in my driveway. It tripped the 30 amp breaker from the house. I was running one AC unit and watching TV at the time. None of the breakers in the trailer tripped. The strange thing that did happen was the 300 amp inline fuse in the 12 volt system blew out.

This fuse is inline to the Xantrex RS3000. I checked the 12 volt line going into the RS3000 and it read direct short to ground. I took it to my dealer to be checked out, suprise they say there is nothing wrong with the RS3000 and they installed another inline fuse and charged me for 1-1/2 hours of labor.

Works fine now but I wish I knew why I got a ground reading and they were not able to duplicate it.
