Gulf Stream Owners RV Forum - View Single Post - GFI and outside receptacle on same circuit?

On our GS motorhome, all of the AC outlets on a side are daisy chained together so it the GFI trips, all plugs are dead. The offending GFI is located in the bathroom, so when it trips we have no power down that side. I did some rewiring by changing the wiring on the back of the plugs and adding GFI units in each plug location, so everything operates independently. The GFI units required a deeper plastic box than the original factory units, but this was not a problem due to thickness of the outside walls.
