Check the ground at your pedestal or power connection. If you have a surge suppressor with the ground indicator lights, this will help.

luckily a cheap try, but it is NOT the GFCI breaker. It popped the new one immediately.

The shore power plug is rated for 30 amps. If the current circuit breaker is rated for 15 amps, stick with a 15 amp outlet.

First unplug the fridge (from the outside access panel), it may be the culprit.

The things that can cause a GFCI to trip
Ground current is flowing Neutral is grounded on load side of GFCI Open neutral is present on the line side of the GFCI Load neutral is not connected to correct terminals Ground current exceeding 6 mA You might also want to check your electrical heating element in the water heater. You can flip all the breakers off in the power panel and then turn them on one at a time and see what area is causing it to trip |

thanks, I am going to try this today.
I didn't mention this before, don't know if it matters...I am actually plugging the Pod into a "regular" outlet, but a GFCI breaker on the same circuit trips. |

Mine has done the same thing. Been using the same outlet on the house for 5 years and this year it started tripping the GFI. Did all the turning off breakers in the Pod, unplugging frig and microwave. The breaker it was tripping was the TV/battery charger one. Replaced the GFI on the house and back to working. On the same note and on a separate circuit in the house my wife's cell phone started tripping a GFI every time she plugged it in to be charged and I replaced it also.

were any of those outlets not the actual GFCI breaker outlet, even though tripping a GFI ? and if so did replacing it solve the problem ? I replaced the GFCI outlet but did the same thing when plugged into an outlet on the same circuit.
