[QUOTE="Red Squirrel, post: 522539, member: 33673"] Makes sense :LOL: To make matters even more confusing the 'problematic' caravan has now since been plugged back into the supply and now everything is ok - I really do not understand this anymore. Here are some facts to breakdown the problem at hand: - 16amp RCBO at 1 caravan trips (no other caravans individual 16amp RCBO outside trips on park) - Entire distribution board which supplies said caravan and 20+ others trips - To eliminate bad 16amp RCBO at pitch, caravan is plugged into neighbouring supply - caravan still trips / knocks out main board With these facts at hand surely it is safe to assume this caravan is the main cause of the tripping? Now we are faced with the fact that now the supply is fine when plugged into its own supply now, where as the day before it wouldn't stay on! As far as we are aware there is no electrical item which is used at the time of tripping - its completely random. Can any electrical appliance or wiring etc cause issues over a period of time? I assumed when something is bad it will happen consistently... [/QUOTE]
