I'm going to say it's your shore power end. When you had the failure and you unplugged and then plugged in, the problem went away. the plug connection is the only thing that changed at that point.
What if the plug end has a loosening terminal. When you unplugged you pulled the plug body but the blades stay in the socket. As you pull harder a loose pin can attempt to stay behind and be pulled slightly out of the body from the friction on the pedestal slots. when you plug it back in the ground pin and blade get pushed more firmly into the plug body, resetting a loose connection.
I would replace the plug end at least if not the whole cable. I just find it hard to believe that the actual cable is faulty, but maybe it's been damaged from pulling it out and pushing it back into the cord storage.
Maybe turn on a bunch of lights or a 1,500 watt space heater. Hook up from the door to some wet ground. Then have someone watch the meter while you plug in and unplug from the pedestal. Also try plugging in firmly and with someone watching the meter start kinking the cord like you're trying to kink off the flow of a garden hose.
If it's a problem with the plug or cord I think that should make it show up.
