Big Mistake!

I think I made a big mistake. I plugged in two ceramic heaters rated at 12.5 amps each,one in the kitchen and one near the dinning room table. The kitchen circuit breaker popped and I can't get the breaker to reset.Can anyone offer any suggestions? I appreciate any help offered.Thanks!
Jack

Reset the GF electrical outlet at the end of the counter between the stove and small cabinet. It may need some time to cool down after it faults.

Jack,
I'm assuming you are on 50 Amp, and that should be okay for 25 amp pull, but the circuit breakers for the wall receptacles are only 15 to 20 amp. I'll be you can plug both in on opposite circuit breakers and not have any problem. You should have a couple GFCI circuit breakers in the trailer. If you push the "test" button on the GFCI, it will pop the reset switch. Using a device, plug into different receptacles to find which ones are on that GFCI circuit. Do the same for the other GFCI circuit breakers. You will then have a map as to which receptacles are on each leg. Of course you could do the same thing with the breaker panel, but this is also a good test that the GFCI is working correctly. Just push the reset button in to reset the receptacles on that line side.

Jack, also keep in mind that circuit breakers do occasionally fail and need to be replaced. Sometimes switching one back and forth will help.
