Wondering if anyone else has done this?
I have replaced the bathroom GFCI outlet with a standard 20 amp duplex outlet. Got tired of all the transient faults. Seemed like every time we used the coach it would happen. When traveling I keep the inverter going to power a laptop with a map display. Laptop battery does not have a lot of capacity so if the GFCI trips the laptop soon shuts down. I know the purpose of the GFCI is to prevent electrocution.
I didn't just throw the GFCI away though, I installed it in the sanitary compartment as a replacement for the outlet there that was falling apart. The plastic literally fell apart when I removed it. I had to install a receptical box and enlarge the hole in the panel so that the box would fit. In the process I found that the two outlets on the passenger side of the coach are wired from this location and are still protected by the GFCI. Your coach may be wired different from mine. I'm not recommending that you do this, just stating what I did. My bedroom outlets have never had a GFCI so I am not worried about the rest of the inside outlets not having GFCI. I do like that the outside outlets have GFCI though.
You can replace the gfci outlet with a regular outlet and then replace the circuit breaker with a gcfi breaker. The one in the bathroom is probably a code thing. My experience with gfci outlets is that they have a finite life. If younare having a lot of nuisance trips try replacing the gfci outlet and see it it helps. I have done that on our coach.
Yep replaced mine with a standard 20a outlet. Maybe if I had kids I wouldn't, but with 2 full grown adults not a worry for me.
My buddy EE who sets on the local board that approves electrical code changes told me not to worry much about nuisance trips in my new coach house as the current generation of GFCI devices are vastly superior to the old ones. He successfully defeated the cities adoption of the new arc flash circuit breakers due to nuisance trips. He's salt of the earth, and not kneejerk politician.
That GFCI outlet is not original. I replaced it 5 or 6 years ago. No idea if it is new generation, how can you tell?
