THOR #10229
Hi all, I mentioned this on another Aria post. The new GFI's do not like a modified sine wave inverter. You can not "test" a GFI on a modified sine wave inverter. You only test when on another power source. The reason a new GFI wouldn't work is because they "self test".

You have two choices.

1 fight with Thor and get a pure sine wave inverter.

2 go on EBay or Amazon and get an older model GFI Leviton 8899 and install it and the problem also goes away.

I am so mad at Thor I don't ever want to talk to them, so I went with option #2. We have been full timing for three months without a single trip. We have been in 11 different campground and gone back and forth between all power sources a lot. The model 8899 was an easy fix so we could get on with life.
