I put CAFCI in all circuits when I converted the coach to 50 amps. Last year, I had the water heater 120 volt power partially trip showing an arc fault. I checked the junction box where the water heater relay is located and found one wire nut partially melted and the black wire scorched. Other than that, the 10 CAGFCIs have worked just like a normal magnet circuit breaker. I even have one in front of the bathroom GFCI in the bathroom and there has not been a problem. I have already experienced an electrical fire in my motor coach in 2008 and never want to experience another one.
