Look up neutral ground fault and you will find a good deal about your situation. My TT had the same problem and the culprit was the electric heating coil in the water heater. The coil element shroud failed allowing the element to be exposed to water, this allowed current to flow rather than to the circuit neutral as it should, to ground hence tripping the GFI at the shore.
I was able to find the problem by disconnecting each neutral 1 at a time at the camper breaker box and plugging back into the gfi. The gfi did not trip when I disconnected the heating coil neutral so I figured it was the coil.
Good luck.
