I was told the reset button on the 179 refrigerator is actually the on/off button.  Just hold it down for 5 seconds.  Also, as mentioned, make sure door is closed completely.  Good luck!

Except on our 2016 RP-179, it is right next to the refrigerator.

Oh, you all are the best! Thank you to everyone. Not one of you called us idiots like we felt last night. Every single appliance is doing its job. The AC is working to keep us comfortable here in the 106 degree Hells Canyon. Yay❗️
And with the Blue Ox sway bar, pulling "Roxi" is easypeasy--so far. From the time we purchased to the time we retrieved it, we forgot a lot. So, again, you on this forum won our hearts. Are all Rpod owners so cool?

We think one of you could write, publish, and sell a book that translates all the operation manuals into a helpful guide. Maybe An Idiot's Guide for New Rpod Owners. 

Muchas gracias

The question is who can't run a Pod on a 30 A service. All systems.

I'm with Leo!

When I first joined this group several years ago, I was a bit anxious and asked lots of questions. Most, if not all, were answered with learned and experienced responses. I learned tons! I still ask questions...mostly about fishing and beer...and still get great advice!! Pod On!!

Rawest50, I can't argue with you, it happened, but I will say it shouldn't.

The convection oven was on and cooking. Initially both were on and working fine. One LED light also on. My take is the initial current draw when the AC compressor kick on tripped it.

That has not been my experience, but I don't know what other current draws you may have had at the time your circuit tripped.
