Barkeepers friend is good stuff but expensive for the job. It also works well on brass.
For badly oxidised gelcoat best to use a compound intended to remove the oxidation. 3M has 3 grades of compound. The most abrasive is very gritty. Not sure if I'd use that on thin RV gelcoats. Maybe use the medium, then the fine. Finish off with a good sealer or wax such as Meguires Flagship. Without protection that hard earned shine will disappear in no time at all.
