Mike (MAMalody): I thought that the SG was an autoreset device? You say youhad to reset a park breaker -- did the SurgeGuard trip it or was that a precautionary item on your part? (We also travel with pets so we'd like to have the system restore itself if possible.)
The SG is autoreset. It resets in 2 minutes 16 seconds. However, when the power first goes off, my habit is to smell the air and check the 5er panel. If nothing is thrown, I then check the camp box. How the camp box got tripped, I don't know. I think the SG tripped it. I checked with the office and they said they had some old lines and boxes out there. Ozz or somebody who speaks electric current may be able to explain what happened more than I can. When I reset the CG breaker, 2 minutes 16 seconds later my SG opened and I was ready for business.
