With the release this month of 2020 NFPA 70, National Electric Code, our 30A and 50A RV shore power outlets must be GFCI type.

We've had GFCI on our 30A and 50A RV outlets for years. You can get these GFCI breakers at Home Depot, Lowes, electrical supply retailers, Amazon.com,...

Hopefully, the 2023 NEC will require GFCI for all RV Parks and for farm outlets - achieving safety parity for all RV owners.
