House breaker tripped. There are 3 sets of circuit breakers. Larger single one at top I believe goes to a/c; the bottom set are two each smaller ones. I am going buy new sanitary tee, plumbers tape at Home Depot also pick up a 30 amp extension cord. No GFCI. I know I am stepping down with the dog bone from 30 amp to 15 on house. So I will add larger 30 amp extension cord and turn off largest circuit breaker, see what happens next. My extension cord just lightweight yard one, felt a little warm. That was after half hour of going back and forth, resetting breaker in house, tripping breakers in trailer, checking each outlet for power.

Plumbing the sanitary tee to both sinks (double bowl) was off. I think one part corroded. Will replace. Then add water lol.

We are coming to jamboree even if camping on floor of trailer. Solar power working fine. I did not put bed frame in yet. Still some small pieces of flooring around fridge, under furnance, finish work.

Sounds like the 30 amp breaker has failed So ska, If the house breaker never tripped or, is it possible the 30 amp is GFI ?
